Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g°C, and ethanol has a specific heat of 2.450 J/g°C. Based on this information, which best compares water and ethanol?

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g°C, and ethanol has a specific heat of 2.450 J/g°C. Based on this information, which best compares water and ethanol?

It requires more heat to raise the temperature of a gram of ethanol by 1°C.

There are more molecules in a gram of water.

Ethanol has a lower formula mass.

Water has more protons and neutrons in its nuclei.

There are more molecules in a gram of water.

Explanation:

Let us recall that the molar mass of water is 18g/mol while the molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol.

Hence;

1 g of water contains 18 g

There are 6.02 × 10^23/18g = 3.34 × 10^22 molecules in 1 g of water

1 g of ethanol contains 46 g

There are 6.02 × 10^23/46 g = 1.31 ×10^22 molecules

Hence, there are more molecules in 1 g of water than in 1g of ethanol.

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
