Why is water used in a rubber bag for fomentation on the body?

The temperature of $5$ moles of a gas which was held at constant volume was changed from $100^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$. The change in internal energy was found to be $80$ Joules. The total heat capacity of the gas at constant volume will be equal to ...... $J/K$.

The ratio of the heat capacities of two bodies is $1:4$. If the rate of heat loss is the same for both bodies under similar environmental conditions,then the ratio of the rate of fall of their temperatures is:

Why is water used as a coolant in automobile radiators?

$A$ heater supplying constant power $P$ watts is switched $ON$ at time $t=0$ to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. $A$ student records the temperature of the liquid $T(t)$ at equal time intervals. $A$ graph is plotted with $T(t)$ on the $Y$-axis versus $t$ on the $X$-axis. Assume that there is no heat loss to the surroundings during heating. Then,
