What is the final temperature of sphere B?

[briandeblis]

I have a question and I think it has too many unknowns, but here it is:

Two spheres, labeled A and B, have identical masses, but are made of different substances. The specific heat capacity of sphere A is 440 J/kg*C . The spheres are initially at 21 degrees C; and the same quantity of heat is added to each sphere. If the final temperature of sphere A is 72 degrees C, what is the final temperature of sphere B?

Help please.

You're right, you need some more information.

Without knowing the specific heat capacity of sphere B, it is impossible to determine the final temperature of sphere B. The final temperature of a substance is dependent on its specific heat capacity, which varies for different materials. Therefore, we need more information in order to calculate the final temperature of sphere B.
