Why does H2O have high such values for its specific heat and boling point?

H2O has high values for its specific heat and boiling point because it is made up of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces. Hydrogen bonds occur whenever hydrogen bonds with fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. Since they are the strongest type of bonds, it takes much more energy to break apart the molecules, which is what needs to happen for something to boil.

212 degrees Fahrenheit
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
Water makes a good coolant because it has a . a. high specific heat c. low specific heat b. high boiling point d. low freezing point?
D. low freezing point
What is the melting point of basalt?

Which can transfer more heat 1 cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boling water?
The cup.
Which can transfer more heat 1 cup or boiling water or 1 teapot of boling water?
The cup.
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.
What is the specific heat of engine oil?
The boiling point/break down point of lubricating oil to be 300-370 degrees Celsius
What is the specific heat of water when it comes to a boiling point?
The specific heat of water when it comes to a boiling point is 100 degrees Celcius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling temperature can vary based on the vapor pressure of the atmosphere.
What property can be used to identify metal?
Specific heat, density, and melting/boiling point.
The heat needed to boil away one gram of a liquid at its boiling point is?
The heat needed to melt one gram of a solid at its melting point is the heat of fusion.
