AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of the two liquids, X and Y, based on their specific heat capacities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Specific Heat Capacity**: - Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. A higher specific heat capacity means the substance can absorb more heat without a significant increase in temperature. 2. **Comparing Liquid X and Liquid Y**: ...
