Hydrogen should be a more useful coolant than water because its specific heat is greater. Explain why this is not the case in practice.

What is really important for the coolant is the heat capacity. The specific heat is
important because that allows us to distinguish more useful materials that can act as
coolants. The mass of hydrogen is so much less than that of water, say, that hydrogen is not
very good as a practical coolant.
