Question

You bought two kilograms of ice at -10 degrees celcius for your cooler when a friend suggests to instead use two kilograms of wood at -10 degrees celsius. Why should you stick with your ice? Thermal Conductivities Latent Heats Specific Heats True, but irrelevantThe latent heat of the ice is going to keep your drinks cooler for longer. Good ReasonThe heat conductivity of water is higher than the heat conductivity of wood. Wrong Wrong Good Reason Water has a higher specific heat. Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 3/10 Previous Tries The heat conductivity of wood is higher than the heat conductivity of water. Wood has a higher specific heat.

Explanation / Answer

Specific heat capacity of water is much higher than that of wood.

So, in the first option you should choose 'Good Reason', because higher latent heat means the capacity of the body to keep the heat for a longer time.

Rest all the options are correct as per my opinion.
