Specific heat capacity of substance A is `3.8Jg^(-1)K^(-1)` whereas the specific heat capacity of substance B is `0.4Jg^(-1)K^(-1)`.
If substances A and B are liquids then which one would be more useful in car radiators ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which substance would be more useful in car radiators based on their specific heat capacities, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 Kelvin (or 1 degree Celsius). A higher specific heat capacity means that the substance can absorb more heat without a significant increase in temperature. ### Step 2: Compare the Specific Heat Capacities - Specific heat capacity of substance A = 3.8 J/g·K - Specific heat capacity of substance B = 0.4 J/g·K ...
