Looking for the same thing i can only hazard a guess that it will be close to that of pure water and it would vary from region to region. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(g x °C).

Why does hot tap water not boiling when you pour it in a cup?

Water heaters are normally set to temperatures well below boiling; 140 degrees Fahrenheit is typical. Also, some heat loss occurs as the water travels through the pipes from the heater to the tap, so the water generally emerges at closer to 120 degrees, which is nowhere near boiling.


Why does a cup of Milo cool down more quickly when placed in a basin of tap water?

The cold tap water transports the heat of the hot Milo away (especially if the Milo container is thermally conductive (a metal or very thin) and especially if both the surrounding cold water and the hot drink are stirred.Therefore, it cools down faster!


What is the index of refraction for tap water not distiled water which is 1.33?

That depends very much on how impure your tap water is. For all intents and purposes, you can probably use 1.33 as the value (it shouldn't be too far off from that, and to get an exact number you'd have to get your tap water tested).


Will a 100 percent rayon shirt shrink?

All polymer based fibres / products will shrink when heated. The type of polymer dictates the level of heat required, while I do not know the specific temperature this occurs for Rayon, I am guessing maybe 180 C to 200 C. That is why the warning label says "do not tumble dry"... To safely see the shrinkage effect, fill a everyday water bottle with hot water from a tap !

The unprotected length of a tap conductor having a current carrying capacity equal to one third that of a main conductor must be no greater than how many feet?

There isn't a specific standard length for the unprotected length of a tap conductor in relation to the current carrying capacity of a main conductor. The length of the tap conductor is typically determined by factors such as voltage drop and local electrical codes. It is recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or an electrical professional for specific guidance on tap conductor lengths.
