    Two bodies of different metals A and B having an equal mass are given equal quantities of heat. Given that the molecular weight of A is greater than that of B, compare the specific heat capacities of the two metals. (Note that the rise in temperature is a measure of the increase in the average kinetic energy of the molecules).
