Answer:-  C. A person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Explanation:-

  • Illusory correlation is a type of correlation in which we relate two unrelated variables.

In statement C. it is said that a person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show there is no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Thus, here is a correlation between unrelated variables.

Hence, "C" is the scenario which best illustrates the concept of illusory correlation.

What does it mean for water to have a high heat capacity
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Its heat capacity is higher than that of any other liquid or solid, its specific heat being 1 cal / g, this means that to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 ° C it is necessary to provide an amount of heat equal to a calorie . Therefore, the heat capacity of 1 g of water is equal to 1 cal / K.

Explanation:

The water has a very high heat capacity, a large amount of heat is necessary to raise its temperature 1.0 ° K. For biological systems this is very important because the cellular temperature is modified very little in response to metabolism. In the same way, aquatic organisms, if water did not possess that quality, would be very affected or would not exist.

This means that a body of water can absorb or release large amounts of heat, with little temperature change, which has a great influence on the weather (large bodies of water in the oceans take longer to heat and cool than the ground land). Its latent heats of vaporization and fusion (540 and 80 cal / g, respectively) are also exceptionally high.
