HELP WITH CHEM - HEAT OF ENTHALPY !!?

3. Magnesium metal can react with aqueous strong acid in a fast, vigorous, and very exothermic process. The energy is transferred to the liquid, which in turn heats the liquid. Suppose that you had two samples of magnesium (of equal m) and reacted each one with equivalent amounts of acid; but suppose that one sample was reacted in 100mL of water and the other in 100mL of ethanol. uming that both reactions started at the same temperature, and that there were no competing reactions, would the final temperatures of the two liquids be the same or different after the reaction finished? If they are different, which one would be higher?
