Two different samples have the same mass and temperature.Equal quantities of energy are absorbed as heat by each.Their final temperatures may be different because the samples have different:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final temperature reached by a sample after absorbing energy as heat depends on its heat capacity, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of the sample by one degree Celsius. If the two samples have different heat capacities, they will reach different final temperatures despite absorbing the same amount of energy as heat. Therefore, the correct answer is E) heat capacities.
