water has it's highest specific heat in it's liquid state at 4.184 J/g-K
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)
Water - but strictly speaking a Specific Heat Capacity is more correct.
The liquid to gas phase change will absorb the largest amount of heat energy.
Water has the highest specific heat, sand and granite could be very similar but there are very many types of sand so no definite relationship can be given without more information.
If you know the temperature and mass of an object, and the temperature, mass, and specific heat of the water, if you dunk the object in the water, and measure the temperature of the water and the object (once the object and water have the same temperature), using reasoning skills and/or equations you can figure out the specific heat of the object. Historically the specific heat was related to SH of water . Water being 1 That now is seen as archaic. The specific heat (of a substance) is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. This does not apply if a phase change is encountered. Every substance has to be measured separately .
When warming 100 grams of ice the greatest amount of heat is involved when evaporating the water. Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance.
if the water continued to heat it will become gas
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
As heat is added to a water sample during a phase change, all of that heat goes into changing the phase, say from solid ice, to liquid water, and as a consequence, the TEMPERATURE of the sampleDOES NOT CHANGE.
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
Specific heat of water is 1 calory per gram .
