What else can I help you with?
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?
Alcohol would require more heat energy to reach its boiling point of 70 degrees Celsius compared to water which needs to reach 100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, alcohol would require more heat energy to boil.
Why does water hold more heat than air?
Water has a higher heat capacity than air because its molecules are closely packed together, allowing them to absorb more heat energy before increasing in temperature. Air molecules are more spread out, so they require less energy to increase in temperature compared to water.
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
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.
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.
Can water absorb more heat than land?
Water has a higher heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb more heat for a given temperature change. However, land heats up and cools down more quickly than water due to its lower heat capacity, which can result in more extreme temperature fluctuations on land compared to water.
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.
Is glass a better conductor of heat than water?
No, water is a better conductor of heat than glass. Water has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently than glass. Glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to water.
Which dissipates heat more quickly land or water?
Land heats and cools faster than water.
