Two bodies of differet 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.).

Assertion: Specific heat of a body is always greater than its thermal capacity. Reason: Thermal capacity is the heat required for raising temperature of unit mass of the body through unit degree

For constant volume processes the heat capacity of gas A is greater than the heat capacity of gas B. We conclude that when they both absorb the same energy as heat at constant volume
