A block of gold has a specific heat of 0.129 J/g·°C and a block of aluminum has a specific heat of 0.897 J/g·°C. Assuming that the blocks have equal mass and are heated over a flame, which statement is TRUE?
A. The gold block will increase in temperature faster because it has a lower specific heat than that of aluminum.
B. The relative rate of temperature change for each block cannot be predicted.
C. The gold and aluminum blocks will rise in temperature at the same rate.
D. The block of aluminum will increase in temperature faster because it has a higher specific heat than that of gold.
