Mark
< Prev
Next >

Two metal blocks of identical mass, A and B, are heated to the same initial temperature. Each is then placed in a separate calorimeter containing an equal mass of water at the same initial temperature. Block A causes the water temperature to increase by 15.0°C, while Block B causes an increase of 7.5°C. What is the ratio of the specific heat capacity of Block B to that of Block A (cB:cAc_B : c_A)?

A

15:7.5

B

1:2

C

2:1

D

7.5:15
