Step 1
The metal that transfers the most heat would be the one with the highest specific heat capacity. This is because specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. So, the higher the Show more…

Experiment with a Metal Explain how the specific heat of a metal sample could be measured in the lab. (Hint: You'll need a test tube, a boiling water bath, a Styrofoam cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water, a calibrated thermometer, and a known mass of the metal.)
The same quantity of heat warms equal masses of metals $\mathrm{A}$ and B. Does the metal with the larger specific heat reach the higher temperature?
Samples of two different metals, A and B, have the same mass. Both samples absorb the same amount of energy. The temperature of $A$ increases by $11^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the sample of $\mathrm{B}$ increases by $13^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ Which metal has the higher specific heat? Explain your reasoning.
