What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Will water heat faster then land?
Someone Else:No because water has a higher specific heat than soil No because water has a higher specific heat than soil Also because water as a higher heat capacity than land. Duhh... It is not because of whatever that other person wrote. I'm just improving their answer! Yay Me!!! No.land will absorbs heat faster than water Beause the soil locks heat in
What has a higher specific heat than water?
The specific heat of liquid water is 4.183 J / g K. Lithium liquid has a higher specific heat at 4.379, as does Hydrogen gas at 14.30. Helium gas also does at 5.1932 Finally, liquid Ammonia has a higher specific heat at 4.700.
Why does salt water evaporate slower than fresh water?
The specific heat capacity of water is about 4.18kJ/kg*K while the specific heat of seawater is about 3.95kJ/kg*K Specific heat capacity is a measure of heat required to increase temperature of something by Celsius or Kelvin. Since water's heat capacity is great than that of seawater, then it takes more heat to bring its temperature up
Waters high specific heat is mainly a consequence of?
Water has a high specific heat capacity because it is a relatively light molecule (18 grams per mole). The specific heats of molecules are all about the same on a per-molecule basis, especially at higher temperatures. This is called the law of Dulong and Petit. At low temperatures, it gets more complicated because the vibrations of molecules are quantized. When specific heats are measured on a per-gram basis, lighter molecules have higher specific heats. For example, the specific heat of hydrogen (H2), which has a molecular weight of 2 grams per mole, is much higher than that of water. Liquid water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids (such as alcohols) because its molecules are lighter.
Among common substances water has what kind of specific heat?
High (novanet)
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
What is the specific heat value for water?
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
Water has a relatively low specific heat?
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
What is the expression and value for specific heat of water?
Specific heat of water is 1 calory per gram .
What kind of bonds give water it's important properties of adhesion cohesion and specific heat?
Hydrogen Bonds
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
How are specific heat of water and ice the same?
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
How is specific heat related to water?
The specific heat of water at 20 0C and 100 kPa is 4,1818 J/gK.
Most specific heat capacities are found by combining a substance with another with a known specific heat usually water. But How do chemists know the specific heat capacity of water in the first place?
Examples of specific heat1.people eat their hobos at a specific heat at 901 degree
Which Has An Greater Specific Heat Water or Copper?
Water has.
