How many square feet will a 28000 btu gas fireplace heat?
look in a chemistry textbook and find the specific heat capacity of air. that is how much energy (in BTUs) it takes to raise the temperature of 1 litre of air by 1 degree. multiply that number by the volume of your room (in liters) then divide 27000 by that number. in maths you want 27000/(volume of room*specific heat capacity of air)
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.
Why does it take water longer to cool down?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Why does water not heat up or cool off as air?
because the specific heat of water is very high
Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
Specific heat capacity of air?
1000 J /kg-K
What does the high specific heat of water have to do with the convection currents in the air at the seashore?
Water'specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C . This high specific heat capacity suggests that the water will travel long distances without losing heat . This makes the convection currents in the air last longer.
Why does land heat unevenly?
This is due to the difference in the specific heat capacity of water and land. Water has a very high specific heat capacity. So the amount of heat required to raise its temperature is very high. That is why land heats up faster than water.
Why does water not heat up or cool as quickly as air?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Why are temperature near the great lakes cooler in the summer than temperatures a few miles away?
The lakes have a high specific heat capacity.Answer:Air passing over the lakes becomes moister from evaporation. This evaporation of water requires heat which is absorbed from the air. As a consequence the air becomes cooler.
What is the Applications of specific heat capacity?
i like to give a short application of specific heast energyland and sea breeze,air conditioners as a coolent, radiators ,

Which has greater heat capacity water or air?
Air has a higher shc. More heat would be required to raise the temperature of air than water since it is a poorer conducter of heat :-) hope that helped. ------------------------------ Correction: Values for specific heat capacity Cp Air: 1.0035 J/(g*K) Water: 4.1813 J/(g*K) Therefore water has the higher specific heat capacity. Gases usually have low heat capacities since not much more energy is required to increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules by the same amount as would be for a liquid.
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.
How does air heat?
it causes air to expand
How air heat?
it causes air to expand
Why does it take water longer to cool down?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
