To understand specific heat a little better lets consider the following questions.
See how your intuition helps you as I lead you through a series of questions
to explain specific heat.
Question #1:
Consider the two beakers containing water, both at the same initial temperature,
say 25 degrees Celsius.

The beaker on the left has 25 mLs of water and the beaker on
the right has 50 mLs of water. Both have the same initial temperature. If I
add the same amount of heat to both beakers, using a bunsen burner, which has
the higher temperature?
