A teacher performs an investigation by heating a 5.4 g piece of aluminum and placing it into a beaker of water. The table shows the temperatures before and after the aluminum was placed in the water.

The teacher repeats the investigation using a larger, 20 g piece of the aluminum heated to 100°C. Which of the following best explains what will happen to the final temperature of both the water and the 20 g piece of aluminum?

a)

The temperature will be 28°C because both pieces of aluminum transfer heat energy at the same rate.

b)

The temperature will be 28°C because both pieces of aluminum are heated to the same initial temperature.

c)

The temperature will be lower than 28°C because the smaller piece of aluminum transfers heat energy more quickly than the larger piece of aluminum.

d)

The temperature will be higher than 28°C because the larger piece of aluminum transfers more heat energy to the water than the small piece of aluminum.
