The specific heat of gold is .12 J*g^-1*K^-1, and that of copper is 0.39 J*g^-1*K^-1. Suppose that we heat both a 25-g sample of the gold and a 25-g sample of the copper to 80 degrees Celcius and then drop them into identical beakers containing 100mL of cold water at 10 degrees Celcius. When each beaker reaches thermal equilibrium, which of the following will be true, and why I)Both beakers will be at the same temperature. ii) The beaker with the copper sample in it will be at a higher temperature. iii) the beaker with the gold sample in it will be at a higher temperature
