NO! Water being a polar liquid requires much more energy to heat than a non-polar liquid like oil.

If water boils at 100degrees and alcohol boils at 70degreesIf you have 500ml of each at a temperature of 20degrees which liquid would require most heat energy to make it boil?
The water will be require more water because it needs 80degrees more heat than the alchohol which only needs 50degrees more heat.
Does it take more heat to heat water or to boil water?
It takes more heat to boil water than to simply heat water. Unless the water is already at its boiling point.
Does boiling water have more heat than a match flame?
Yes, the boiling water has more heat than the match flame.
Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
Why the heat capacity of water more than ice?
Water can hold more heat than ice before it changes states. For example, when you add heat to ice, it changes to water almost immediately. When you add heat to water it takes more to turn it into steam.
Why does soil absorb more sunlight heat than and water?
it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
Is the heat capacity of dry soil more than water?
Heat capacity of dry soil (0.8 kJ/Kg K) is less than water (4.2 kJ/Kg K) by a factor of about 5. That is water will require 5 times more heat to warm by 1 degree Kelvin (one degree Kelvin = 1 degree Celsius) then the same weight of dry soil.
Why does dry heat require higher temperatures for longer time periods to sterilize than does moist heat?
Water has a higher heat capacity than air. In other words, air is a very poor conductor of heat while water is a very efficient conductor of heat.
Which dissipates heat more quickly land or water?
Land heats and cools faster than water.
Why does land absorb more heat than water?
It doesn't. Water absorbs and holds more heat than land. That's why the coast always has more stable weather, with less temperature extremes, than inland.
Does muddy water absorb more heat than normal water?
A muddy water heat up faster than a clear water because of the presences of impurities in the muddy water and their specific heat capacity differences.
Gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
