Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
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.
Which heats up faster air or soil?
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of the substance 1o C. A substance with a high specific heat requires more heat to increase in temperature than a substance with a low specific heat.Air has a specific heat of about 1.005 Kj/Kg/degree C.Most soils are mostly composed of mineral particles, air and water. The specific heat of dry soil is about 0.80 Kj/kg/degree C. However, since the specific heat of water is very high (4.2 Kj/kg/degree C), soils often have a higher specific heat than air, and heat up more slowly than the air.So it ultimately depends on the amount of moisture in the soil. A bone-dry soil can heat up quicker than air, but a wet soil will take longer to heat up than the air.
Is it true that liquid water has a low specific heat which makes it poor coolant?
Low? Compared to what? Poor? Compared to what? Compared to air, water is a much much better coolant. Compared to other materials, it stinks. It really depends what you are using it for. What is the temperature of the object that needs cooling? How is the coolant itself being cooled and circulated? The specific heat is one key consideration that goes into a coolant, but not the only one. Yes, the higher the specific heat, the more a material can remove heat from another object without its own temperature going up.
What is the specific heat of copper at STP?
what is the specific heat for copper
Does mercury has low specific heat?
yes, it has low specific heat capacity
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
What element has the highest specific heat of any solid element?
Lithium
The fact that desert sand is very hot in the day and very cold at night is evidence that sand has a low specific heat capacity or high specific heat capacity?
It has a very low specific heat because it absorbs and releases heat energy very readily.
What substances that heat and cool quickly have a high or low specific heat?
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.
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.
Is desert sand a high or low specific heat capacity?
The desert sand has very low specific heat because it absorbs and releases heat very readily.
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
The ocean has a high specific heat what would happen if the ocean had a low specific heat?
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
Will things that heat quickly have a low or high specific heat?
both
Does cooking pot have low or high specific heat capacity?
Low heat capacity for effective heating.
What is the heat element in plaster?
There is no specific element in plaster that produces. The chemical reaction that results when plaster is mixed with water is what produces the heat.
