Two experimental runs are performed to determine the calorimetric properties of an alcohol which has a melting point of -10° C

In the first run, a 200-g cube of frozen alcohol, at the melting point, is added to 300 g of water at 20°C in a styrofoam container. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the alcohol-water solution is at a temperature of 5°C. In the second run, an identical cube of alcohol is added to 500 g of water at 20°C and the temperature at thermal equilibrium is 10°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4190 J/kg ? K. Assume no heat is exchanged with the styrofoam container and the surroundings. What is the specific heat capacity of the alcohol? A) 1700 J/kg ? K B) 1900 J/kg ? K C) 2100 J/kg ? K D) 2300 J/kg ? K E) 2500 J/kg ? K
