Suppose you have samples of gold, iron, and aluminum, all of the same mass. If the same quantity of heat energy is applied in turn to each of the three samples, which sample of metal will end up at the highest temperature? Which will end up at the lowest temperature? (Specific heat of Gold= 0.13 J/g degrees celsius; Specific heat of Iron= 0.45 J/g degrees celsius; specific heat of aluminum= 0.90 J/g degrees celsius)
