The specific heat of a substance is a property that does not depend on the mass of the substance. Therefore, the specific heat of 50 g of a substance will be the same as the specific heat of 10 g of the same substance.

Here's why:

* Specific Heat: This is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). It's a material property, meaning it's inherent to the substance itself.

* Mass: The amount of substance you have (50 g or 10 g) affects how much total heat energy is needed to change its temperature, but it doesn't change the specific heat value.

Example:

Imagine you have two containers, one with 50 g of water and the other with 10 g of water. The specific heat of water is about 4.18 J/g°C.

* 50 g Container: It will take more total heat energy to raise the temperature of this larger amount of water.

* 10 g Container: It will take less total heat energy to raise the temperature of this smaller amount of water.

However, the specific heat of the water in both containers remains the same (4.18 J/g°C).
