That a given volume of water will store a larger amount of heat energy (per degree temperature rise) than will most other substances.
takes more heat to boil or more energy to heat
higher
specific quantity
A substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.
Yes. Check the Wikipedia article on "specific heat", and you'll find some - for example ammonia, lithium at certain temperatures, and helium.
low specific heat is like sand and high specific heat is like water at the beach it may be hot outside the water is still cold but the sand is hot as ever.
rubbing alcohol has higher specific heat
sure :D
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
diotomic has a higher specific heat ratio
yes metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities
higher
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Higher Heat
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
The specific heat of liquid water is 4.183 J / g K. Lithium liquid has a higher specific heat at 4.379, as does Hydrogen gas at 14.30. Helium gas also does at 5.1932 Finally, liquid Ammonia has a higher specific heat at 4.700.
specific quantity
Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.
