Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

What is tap water specific heat capacity?
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).
Does the mass of water affect temperature rise?
Yes due to something called 'specific heat capacity', this is basically that the more water there is, the hotter it can get.
What does the amount of energy needed to heat water depend on?
The equation Q=mcΔ t calculates the amount of energy for a body of mass to raise a unit temperature per unit mass. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.19 J/g°C which means that it takes 4.19 J to raise 1 g of water to 1°. The specific heat capacity also depends on what the surrounding temperature is. 4.19 J/g°C is the specific heat capacity at room temperature. Since temperature is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles, the motion of particles in water affects the specific heat capacity which ultimately affects how much energy is needed to heat up water.
Which substance having high specific heat capacity?
A common substance with a high specific heat is water. There are a few substances that have a higher heat capacity than water, though, such as lithium and ammonia.
What practical use would a substance with a very high specific heat have?
Heat and thus energy storage. UK heating systems in homes use circulating water to heat homes because of water's high Specific Heat Capacity.
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
What is the specific capacity of water?
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
Does a substance that cools off quickly have a high or low specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of an object or substance by 1oK. The rate at which something cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings. Consequently, neither has any relation to the other.
Why adding sme amount of heat to two different abjocts not necessary produce the same increase intemperature?
Because two objects' material has different specific heat capacity. Water seems having the highest specific heat capacity. 4180 J/kg/K
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?
