Comparing Specific Heat Capacity
Two metal blocks, A and B, of equal mass are heated to the same initial temperature. Each block is then placed on an identical cube of ice. The ice cube under Block A melts completely in a shorter time than the ice cube under Block B. Assuming the blocks have the same thermal conductivity, which statement best explains this observation?
A
Block B has a higher heat capacity than Block A
B
Block A has a lower melting point than Block B
C
Block A has a higher density than Block B
D
Block A has a higher specific heat capacity than Block B
