According to the principle of calorimetry for an isolated system:
1. Heat lost by part at higher temperature equals the heat gained by part at lower temperature.
2. Heat lost by part at higher temperature is always less than the heat gained by part at lower temperature.
3. Heat lost by part at higher temperature is always more than heat gained by part at lower temperature.
4. Heat lost by part at higher temperature is never equal to heat gained by part at lower temperature.

An aluminium block of mass \(2.5\) kg is supplied with \(9000\) J of thermal energy. This causes its temperature to rise by \(4\) K. Based on this data, which expression gives the specific heat capacity of this aluminium block?
(assume that the block remains solid throughout and that no additional energy is exchanged between the block and the surroundings.)

1. \(9000\times2.5\times4\) J kg–1 K–1 2. \(\dfrac{2.5\times4}{9000}\) J kg–1 K–1
3. \(\dfrac{9000\times2.5}{4}\) J kg–1 K–1 4. \(\dfrac{9000}{ 2.5 \times4}\) J kg–1 K–1
