    The metal with the lowest specific heat capacity

    Explanation:

    Hello, this question can be solved when we compare their specific heat capacities.

    Specific heat capacity of a metal / substance is the heat required to raise it's temperature by one degree Celsius.

    Mathematically,

    Q = mc∇θ

    Q = heat energy applied

    M = mass of the metal

    C = specific heat capacity of the metal

    ∇θ = (θ₂ - θ₁) which corresponds to the change in temperature of the metal.

    In a given experiment of different metals with different specific heat capacities, assuming they're of equal mass and same amount of energy is applied with the same amount of initial temperature, the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity would have the highest final temperature likewise the metal with the highest specific heat capacity would have the lowest final temperature.

    The is due to the energy required to raise the temperature of the metal by 1°C
