Two liquids A and B have specific heat capacities `2.5 Jg^(-1) ""^(@)C` and `3.2 Jg^(-1) ""^(@)C` respectively.
Which liquid is more suitable as a liquid in radiators for cooling?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which liquid is more suitable for use in radiators for cooling, we need to analyze the specific heat capacities of the two liquids provided: 1. **Identify the specific heat capacities**: - Liquid A: \( C_A = 2.5 \, \text{J/g}^\circ \text{C} \) - Liquid B: \( C_B = 3.2 \, \text{J/g}^\circ \text{C} \) 2. **Understand the concept of specific heat capacity**: - Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. A higher specific heat capacity means that the liquid can absorb more heat without a significant increase in temperature. ...
