8. You pour equal masses of liquid A and liquid B into a coffee cup calorimeter. Liquid A starts at 100 °C, while liquid B starts at 50 °C. The final temperature inside the calorimeter is 80 °C. Assuming the two liquids simply mix rather than reacting, how are the two specific heats related (i.e., are they equal, or is one larger than the other - and if one is larger, which?). Explain your answer in a sentence or two.
