The specific heat of soil is 0.20 kcal/kg*c and the specific heat of water is 1.00 kcal/kg*c. this means that if 1 kg of soil and 1 kg of water each receive 1 kcal of energy, ideally.

The soil will be warmer than the water.

Explanation:

The heat (thermal energy) absorbed can be found using the following equation:

Where:

is the heat  

is the mass of the element

is the specific heat capacity of the material.

is the variation in temperature

In the case of soil we have:

(1)

Where:

In the case of water we have:

(2)

Where:

Isolating from both equations:

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

Comparing (4) and (6) we can find the soil will be warmer than the water.

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

answer; (d) spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to disorder;
