Question:

The cooling system of a truck engine contains 20.0 L of water. (1 L of water has a mass of 1 kg.)
(a) If the engine is run until 845 kJ of heat is added, what is the change in temperature of the water?
(b) In the winter, the system was filled with 20.0 L of ethyl alcohol with density 0.800 g/cm3. If the ethyl alcohol absorbed the same 845 kJ of heat, what would be the increase in temperature of the alcohol?
(c) Would ethyl alcohol or water be a better coolant? Why?
