Answer 2

here is the table better written out , sorry about that.

Answer 3

i think the answer would be aluminum?

Answer 4

You seem correct, but is the table in J/kg K? Then that would make better sense.

Answer 5

i think the right side is J/kg right?

Answer 6

yeah me too.

Answer 7

possibly an error on their end

Answer 8

like for water it would be 2,060 ?

Answer 9

maybe so , im not quite sure

Answer 10

yeah they wrote it wrong. It should be kg, other wise in their units it would be 0.8975 J/gK

Answer 11

that would only make sense, alright ill go with aluminum, thank you.
