Heart, 5 stars, and Brainiest to first right answer! In an experiment, equal amounts of water and sand were heated under a lamp. The initial and final temperatures of each were recorded. A partial record of the temperature is shown.
Experimental RecordSubstance Initial Temperature Final Temperature
Sand 20 °C 26 °C
Water 20 °C ?
Which statement about the final temperature of water is correct?
A. It will be less than 26 °C as sand has a relatively higher specific heat than water.
B. It will be less than 26 °C as water has a relatively higher specific heat than sand.
C. It will be more than 26 °C as sand needs relatively higher energy than water to raise its temperature.
D. It will be more than 26 °C as water needs relatively higher energy than sand to raise its temperature.
