Answer to Question #73868 in Physical Chemistry for Eric De Torres

Question

Which of these three metals, when made into a cooking pot, will keep water warm the longest when the pot is removed from the stove? Why?
(Assume that the mass of each pot, the initial temperature of the water, the amount of water, and the rate of heat loss to the surroundings are the same for all three metals.) the changes are different because the specific heats of the metals are different.

Answer 1

The longer the heat can store the metal whose value of the heat capacity is greater. Large values of heat capacity are iron, chromium, nickel.
