Which statement best describes the thermal properties of wool? a. wool is an ideal thermal insulator because it completely resists the transfer of heat. b. wool is an excellent thermal conductor because heat flows through it very quickly. c. wool lacks any useful thermal properties; it is neither a conductor nor insulator. d. wool is an excellent thermal insulator because heat flows through it very slowly.

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.
