Answer:
Substance A will release more heat.
Explanation:
Let suppose that both substances experiment an entirely sensible heat process and are incompressible and begin at the same temperature. Physically speaking, specific heat ([tex]c[/tex]), measured in kilojoules per kilogram-degree Celsius, can be described by following expression:
[tex]c = \frac{Q}{m\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})}[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]Q[/tex] - Released heat, measured in kilojoules.
[tex]m[/tex] - Sample mass, measured in kilograms.
[tex]T_{o}[/tex], [tex]T_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final temperatures of the sample, measured in degrees Celsius.
If we know that [tex]c_{A}> c_{B}[/tex], [tex]m_{A} = m_{B}[/tex], [tex]T_{A,o} = T_{B,o}[/tex] and [tex]T_{A,f} = T_{B,f}[/tex], then we have the following inequation:
[tex]\frac{Q_{A}}{m\cdot (T_{A,f}-T_{A,o})} > \frac{Q_{B}}{m\cdot (T_{B,f}-T_{B,o})}[/tex]
[tex]Q_{A} > Q_{B}[/tex]
Substance A will release more heat.
