The diagram illustrates an electric heater being used to warm a beaker of water and an identical beaker that contains oil. Both are heated for one minute. The temperature of the water and the temperature of the oil rise steadily. The rise in temperature of the oil is much larger than that of the water. Why is this?
- AOil has a higher boiling point than water.
- BOil has a lower boiling point than water.
- CThe oil has a larger thermal capacity than the water.
- DThe oil has a smaller thermal capacity than the water.
