the small cast iron frying pan has a mass of 808 g. The specific heat of iron (the material used to
make the pan) is =0.449J/g °C. A large frying pan with a mass of 4040g will have a specific heat of
0.449J/g °C as well.
Although the large pan is more massive than the small pan, since both are made of the same
material, they both yield the same value for specific heat.
We can relate the quantity of a substance, the amount of heat transferred, its heat
capacity, and the temperature change either via mass, by using the equation;
q=m CAT
