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? rm Good Reason The heat conductivity of water is highe than the heat conductivity of wood. Good Reason The latent heat of the ice is going to keep your drinks cooler for longer. True, but irrelevant Water has a higher specific heat. Wrong Wrong The heat conductivity of wood is higher than the heat conductivity of water. Wood has a higher specific heat. Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 1/10 Previous Tries

Explanation / Answer

All your options are correct exept for the 3rd one.

It is not only true but also relevant. So it becomes a good reason.

Since water has a higher specific heat, it will require much higher amount of heat to lower to the same amount of temperature. This ghis helps all the more in cooling.
