Answer : The sample undergoes the greater heat change is, aluminum.
Explanation :
Specific heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one gram of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.
Formula used for specific heat capacity :
[tex]C=\frac{q}{m\times \Delta T}[/tex]
where,
C = specific heat capacity
m = mass of a substance
q = heat required
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature of substance
As we know that the heat change is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity at constant temperature and mass that means higher the specific heat capacity, the higher will be the heat change and vice-versa.
The specific heat capacity of iron and aluminum is, 0.449 J/g.°C and 0.903 J/g.°C respectively.
From this we conclude that the specific heat capacity of aluminum is greater than iron. So, aluminium sample undergoes the greater heat change.
Hence, the sample undergoes the greater heat change is, aluminum.
