उत्तर
(i) Substance B is a good conductor out of the two substances.
(ii) The specific heat capacity of B is lower than A. This means that less heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of B by 1 K than the heat required for A.
(iii) If both substances were liquids, then substance A will be more useful in radiators. This is because A will extract more heat without much change in its temperature as it has high specific heat capacity.

A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
