One quick thing to confirm. In the china example is the water no cooling at the same rate since the conductivity is the same. I mean after a longer period of time it may change but initially isn't the energy transfer the same.

OK great thanks for all your help!

In no way am i doubting you are correct however the answers state the opposite. They say the higher specific heat means it will take more heat away.

That is similar to the understanding I had however the answers in the book do not talk about conductivity and rather answer in terms of specific heat, is there anyway to explain it using that. Also is there reasoning behind delicate china heating faster than heavy china? Thanks for your help!
