Specific heat capacity of substance A is 3.8 j g-1 k-1 whereas the specific heat capacity of substance B is 0.4 Jg -1 K-1. (i) Which of the two is a good conductor of heat?(ii) Haw is one led to the above conclusion?(iii) If substances A and B are liquids then which. one would be more useful in car radiators? 

Answer»

 Specific heat capacity of A is 3.8 tg-1 K-1.

Specific heat capacity of B is 0.4 Jg-1 K-1.

(i) 'B' is a good conductor of heat. 

(ii) The specific heat capacity of B is lower than A. this means that less heat is required to raise the temperature of 1g B by 1K than the heat required to A.

(iii) 'A' Will be preferred as it absorbs large amount of heat energy without raising its own temperature much as its specific heat capacity is high.
