Should the specific heat of your automobile's radiator fluid be as high as possible or as low as possible? Why?
A) A higher specific heat radiator fluid would be more effective at distributing the heat to different parts of the engine so it doesn't all build up in one place.
B) A lower specific heat would mean that it is starting at a low temperature, and has to heat up to a much higher temperature before it boils away.
C) A higher specific heat radiator fluid would be more effective at absorbing heat from the engine, so that it doesn't melt.
D) A lower specific heat radiator fluid means that its molecules will not form a thick solution, but rather will get "thinner" as it is heated so that it won't block up the radiator.
