Question:

Which metal would have the lowest specific heat capacity, silver or aluminum?

A brief explanation would be helpful also.

Answer:

Aluminum (s) .90 J/g C Silver (s) .24 J/g C So I'm guessing silver has the lowest specific heatI don't know about an explanation, I know you can rearrange the equation: q m x sp.hx (Tf - Ti)But you would need to do an experiment to actually figure outsorry I don't know this myselfIt might have something to do with electrons or molecular size.
