Question 26
H

Water is used as the coolant in a car engine. Which property of water makes it suitable for this?

[1]
A

Water has a high boiling point, so it does not turn into steam in the engine

B

Water has a high specific heat capacity, so it stores a lot of energy per degree

C

Water has a high specific latent heat, so it changes state inside the engine

D

Water has a low specific heat capacity, so its temperature rises very quickly
