Chemistry

in a lab experiment to test the change in temperatureof NaCl and the change in temperature of water:

Specific heat of NaCl is 0.88
specific heat of DI water is 4.2

in the experiment, the change in temperature for thewater was much greater than the change in temperature of the tablesalt as well as the change in energy.
(when using equation E = g C × change in T)

why did this occur?
