Question

Car radiators are filled with water. This shows that water

• A. has low specific heat capacity and hence can be used as a heat reservoir
• B. has low specific heat capacity and hence can be used for cooling purposes
• C. has high specific heat capacity and hence can be used as a heat reservoir
• D. has high specific heat capacity and hence is used for cooling purposes

Answer 1

The correct option is D

has high specific heat capacity and hence is used for cooling purposes

Water has high specific heat capacity and hence on heating it will absorb large amount of heat and hence it can be used as a coolant.
