Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.
Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

Answer:
solubility of X in water at 17.0 
is 0.11 g/mL.
Explanation:
Yes, the solubility of X in water at 17.0 can be calculated using the information given.
Let's assume solubility of X in water at 17.0 is y g/mL
The geochemist ultimately got 3.96 g of crystals of X after evaporating the diluted solution made by diluting the 36.0 mL of stock solution.
So, solubility of X in 1 mL of water = y g
Hence, solubility of X in 36.0 mL of water = 36y g
So, 36y = 3.96
or, y = 
= 0.11
Hence solubility of X in water at 17.0 is 0.11 g/mL.
