Block P has a mass of 1.0 kg and a specific heat capacity of 900 J/kg ∘C900\ \text{J/kg}\ ^\circ\text{C}900 J/kg ∘C. Block Q has a mass of 2.0 kg and a specific heat capacity of 450 J/kg ∘C450\ \text{J/kg}\ ^\circ\text{C}450 J/kg ∘C. The same amount of energy is given to each block. Which statement is correct?
P has the larger temperature rise, because it has the larger specific heat capacity
P and Q have the same temperature rise, because mass×capacity\text{mass} \times \text{capacity}mass×capacity is the same
Q has the larger temperature rise, because it has the larger mass of material
Q has the larger temperature rise, because it has the smaller specific heat capacity
