Typical heat capacities are (exact values depend on temperature):
Solid (Ice): 2.108 kJ/kg·K
Liquid (water): 4.187 kJ/kg·K
Gas (water vapor/steam): 1.996 kJ/-kg·K
In comparison - you can see that liquid water has a higher heat capacity that ice or steam.

Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Why is water an excellent material to use in the calorimeter?
because water has a very high specific heat capacity compared to most liquids
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.
Why is waters specific heat capacity 1.00 cal g C or 4.185 Joules g?
This is water's specific heat capacity because this is the amount of energy needed to heat up the water 1 degree Celsius.
What is the quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance?
If the substance is water, this is the kilocalorie (1000 calories). One calorie is the heat to raise one gram of water by 1 deg C. Other substances don't have the same specific heat capacity as water, so you have to correct for that, first find out the heat capacity (specific heat) for the substance you are dealing with.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Does the mass of water affect temperature rise?
Yes due to something called 'specific heat capacity', this is basically that the more water there is, the hotter it can get.
Which have lowest specific heat capacity?
They will be the same because the molecular structure of the tea is the same as the molecular structure of water. The added tea to water does not affect the molecular structure of water.
What is the specific capacity of water?
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Does water or iron has the largest specific heat capacity?
Of those two substances, water has.
