What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
Water is a good coolant because of its hig heat of?
Water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorbs a lot of heat in comparison to other molecules of the same amount or volume.
A coastal climate is moderated primarily by which of the follwing properties of water?
High specific heat
Which metal has the lowest specific heat capacity?
Gold has the lowest specific heat capacity.
Does a substance that cools off quickly have a high or low specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of an object or substance by 1oK. The rate at which something cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings. Consequently, neither has any relation to the other.
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
What is high heat capacity?
A substance with a high specific heat capacity is one that needs a lot of heat energy pumped into it in order to raise its temperature. Substances with relatively high specific heat capacities include water, rock, and potatoes.
Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.

Does a substance that cools up quickly have high or low specific heat capacity?
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
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.
The fact that desert sand is very hot in the day and very cold at night is evidence that sand has a low specific heat capacity or high specific heat capacity?
It has a very low specific heat because it absorbs and releases heat energy very readily.
Water is a good coolant because of its hig heat of?
Water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorbs a lot of heat in comparison to other molecules of the same amount or volume.
What is specific heat capacity of a High-Temperature Reusable Surface Insulation Tile?
high
Why do the islands have moderate temperatures?
because of high specific heat capacity.
