The fact that when in solution C₂H₅OH conducts electricity means that it is an electrolyte so you can automatically cross out A and C (the definition of an electrolyte is a substance that will conduct electricity when in a solution). I think the correct answer is B due to the -OH group (the - indicates a covalent bond) which allows the molecule to give up a proton (H⁺).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which statement best describes why specific heat capacity is often more useful than heat capacity for scientists when comparing

Misha Larkins [42]

The correct option is this: SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY IS AN INTENSIVE PROPERTY AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON SAMPLE SIZE.

Generally, all the properties of matters can be divided into two classes, these are intensive and extensive properties. Intensive properties are those properties that are not determined by the quantity of the material that is present or available. Examples of intensive properties are colour, density and specific heat capacity. For instance, whether you have a bucket of water or a cup of water, the quantity does not matter, the colour of water will always remain the same. Extensive properties in contrast, are those properties that depend on the quantity of material that is available. Examples are mass, heat capacity and volume.
