Water requires more energy than an equal mass of iron for its temperature to increase by a given amount because water has a greater?
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

Which has the greater specific heat capacity- an object that cools quickly or an object of the same mass that cools more slowly?
The object that cools more slowly would have the greater specific heat, because the amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of it one degree is less than the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the first object one degree. i.e. the object that cools quickly does so because it doesn't need a lot of heat to increase the temperature of it by one degree and the one that cools more slowly does so because it needs more heat to increase the temperature of it by one degree.
What is tap water specific heat capacity?
Looking for the same thing i can only hazard a guess that it will be close to that of pure water and it would vary from region to region. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(g x °C).
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Water requires more energy than an equal mass of iron for its temperature to increase by a given amount because water has a greater?
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Does milk boils faster than water?
Water boils faster
Which Has An Greater Specific Heat Water or Copper?
Water has.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Why does water have a greater specific heat over then sand?
water has a greater specific heat than sand becasue it takes longer to heat up than sand does
What is the heat of water?
the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / kg °C
Which substance having high specific heat capacity?
A common substance with a high specific heat is water. There are a few substances that have a higher heat capacity than water, though, such as lithium and ammonia.
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
How are the amount of heat transferred and the change in temperature of water related?
Hi, heat transferred = mass x specific heat capacity x rise/fall in temperature If heat is lost then fall in temperature If heat is gained then rise in temperature. More the transfer then greater the difference in temperature.
