Question
Water and turpentine oil (specific heat less than that of water) are both heated to same temperature. Equal amounts of these placed in identical calorimeters are then left in air

- Their cooling curves will be identical
and
will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
and
will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
- None of the above
The correct answer is:
and
will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
As we know, Rate of cooling 



It is clear that, at a particular time after start cooling, temperature of oil will be less than that of water
So graph
represents the cooling curve of oil and
represents the cooling curve of water
