What is the specific heat value for water?
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
Write the expression and value for the specific heat of water?
The expression for specific heat is Q = mc(delta T) where Q is the heat added, c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and delta T is the change in temperature in degrees C. Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit of mass needed to raise the temperature by 1 degree C. The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gram degree C = 4.186 joule/gram degree C. Water has a higher specific heat than most common substances.
Which has the highest specific heat value -land or water?
WATER
Does water heat up just as quickly as land heats up?
it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.
Why does ice water cool faster than refrigerator water?
it doesnt, water has the same specific heat no matter what temperature it is at...about 4.18. Specific heat is a characteristic value of materials to resist changes in temperature (heat flow). Please rephrase the question if this is not the answer you are after
Why does specific heat has the same numerical value in metric and british systems?
Specific heat is dimensionless, and dimensionless units have the same value in any system. Specific heat is the ratio between two densities - that of the substance considered, and that of water. The ratio of two quantities of the same dimension will naturally be a dimensionless number.
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
Water has a relatively low specific heat?
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.
Why the experimental value of specific heat capacity is higher than the standars value?
Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
How are specific heat of water and ice the same?
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
