One very important consequence of water's high heat of vaporization is weather. When water evaporates from the oceans it carries a huge amount of energy. When this water vapor condenses in the atmosphere it releases that energy into the air. This is the energy that powers storms. Hurricanes form over warm water because they require the energy in the evaporating water. Thunderstorms and tornados require warm moist air.

What is the importance of wiping the ice before introducing it to the water in the calorimeter?

The specific heat of water is different from the specific heat of ice and so 'wet ice' into a calorimeter experiment can increase the mass of water in the calorimeter and become a source of unaccuracy.


Describe what is meant by specific heat?

More or less in all biological systems. For example the high specific heat capacity helps to cool us through sweat, and it also helps to maintain a steady temperature of many biological systems. In industries, the high specific heat capacity of water helps to take away a huge amount of heat so it is used as a coolant in many industrial processes; for example in cooling some kinds of nuclear reactors.
