Which metal: zinc, tin or iron, will melt faster why?

To find out which of the metals will melt faster, compare the following characteristics of the metals:

Tin: melting point 231.9 degrees Celsius, specific heat of fusion 60.7 kJ / kg, specific heat 230 J / (kg * C);

Iron: the melting point is 1538 degrees Celsius, the specific heat of fusion is 277 kJ / kg, the specific heat is 450 J / (kg * C).

Let 2 pieces of the same mass of tin and iron be at the same temperature. They begin to be given the same amount of heat. Since tin has a lower specific heat, it will heat up faster. In addition, tin has a lower melting point and specific heat of fusion, so the tin will melt faster.

Answer: Tin will melt faster.
