Answer

(i) Coolant in car radiators — Liquid X is used as a coolant in car radiators because liquid X has specific heat capacity higher than the liquid Y, hence it will absorb more heat energy without much change in temperature.

(ii) Heat reservoir to keep juice bottles without freezing — The liquid needs to give out large amount of heat before reaching freezing temperatures and as liquid X has specific heat capacity higher than the liquid Y, hence liquid X will be used.
