At equal heat applied to both iron and water, the iron with smaller specific heat capacity will experience a more rapid temperature change.

What is heat capacity?

The heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of entire mass of a substance.

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass of the substance
  • c is specific heat capacity of the substance
  • Δθ is change in temperature

specific heat capacity of iron = 462 J/kgK

specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kgK

Δθ = Q/mc

Change in temperature is inversely proportional to specific heat capacity.

Thus, at equal heat applied to both iron and water, the iron with smaller specific heat capacity will experience a more rapid temperature change.
