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.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
