Is soil the highest specific heat capacity?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
Why does a piece of steel heat up more than an equal mass of plastic when both absorb the same heat?
Steel has a heat capacity of about 0.49 kJ/kg/°C. Solid plastics have a heat capacity of about 1.67 kJ/kg/°C. It thus takes more energy to warm plastic 1 °C than to warm steel 1 °C. As to why steel has a higher heat capacity than plastic... It may be because plastics have more ability to absorb energy into the vibrational modes of the atoms in the long polymer chains than steel does in its fairly fixed crystaline/metal structure.
What is heat capacity of liquid steel?
Heat capacicity of steel: 460 J/kg.K 0.460 J/g.K
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Which would have higher temperature change water or aluminum?
Starting from the same temperature and for the same amount of heat input, aluminum would wind up with a higher temperature than water because water has a higher heat capacity (it takes more energy to raise its temperature) than aluminum.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Does Liquid ammonia have a higher heat capacity than liquid water?
No, water is the record holder.
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.
How do you compare the liquid water's heat capacity to most materials at the earth's surface?
Higher
Why sand gets hotter faster than water?
because water has a higher heat capacity than sand
Is soil the highest specific heat capacity?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
What is heat capacity of liquid steel?
Heat capacicity of steel: 460 J/kg.K 0.460 J/g.K

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.
Why does land become hot faster than a body of water?
Water heats slower because it has a higher specific heat capacity.
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
