Temperature vs. time for Liquid X and Liquid Y.
Temperature vs. time for Liquid X and Liquid Y.
Two samples of liquid, Liquid X and Liquid Y, each having a mass of \(0.20 \text{ kg}\), are placed inside a thermally insulated container and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. The graph shows the temperature of each liquid as a function of time. What is the ratio \(\dfrac{c_X}{c_Y}\) of the specific heat capacity of Liquid X to the specific heat capacity of Liquid Y?
