Question: Four identical aluminum blocks at the same initial high temperature are placed into buckets containing 4 different fluids at the same low temperature and allowed

Four identical aluminum blocks at the same initial high temperature are placed into buckets
containing 4 different fluids at the same low temperature and allowed to come to thermal
equilibrium. In which case will the aluminum block reach the lowest final temperature? Assume
that none of the liquids change phase.
A.900 g of fluid with a specific heat of 5000 J/kg K
B.1 kg of fluid with a specific heat of 4000 J/kg K
C.750 g of fluid with a specific heat of 5500 J/kg K
D.1.5 kg of fluid with a specific heat of 2600 J/kg K
E. The aluminum will reach the same final temperature in all four cases
