Specific heat capacity of substance A is...

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

Verified by Experts

Since the specific heat capacity of A is higher than that of B. So it canzabsorb more heat Therefore it is useful in car radiators
