You are given the following information, where C represents the specific heat capacity of a material.
For ethanol:
C=2.671 J/g•°C
For water.
C=4.184 J/g•°C
You have two identical containers, one contains 100.0 g of ethanol, and the other contains 100.0 g of water. Each sample starts at 75.0°C. The two samples are
allowed to cool in air.
Which of the following is a CORRECT statement?
A The water will cool to a lower temperature.
B The ethanol will cool to a lower temperature.
C Both will result in the same temperature, but water will cool first.
D Both will result in at the same temperature, but ethanol will cool first.
