Contrary to popular belief, water does not have the highest specific heat. Water has a specific heat of 4.185 Joules per Gram per Kelvin
Hydrogen Gas, which probably has the highest specific heat capacity, is 14.304 Joules per Gram per Kelvin

∙ 12y agoWater has a high specific heat so that it takes a lot longer for it to heat up and to cool way down (i.e. to form ice.) This is a wonderful trait of water because, since our bodies are mostly comprised of water, it would take a lot for us to start to really lose the water at a dangerous point. High specific heat keeps our bodies from being extremely dehydrated when we're in the heat. The same goes for the cold.

How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?
Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.
Which has the highest specific heat value -land or water?
WATER
What element has the highest specific heat of any solid element?
Lithium

What is the specific heat capacity of rubber?
According to http://www.koolance.com/technical/cooling101/002.html the specific heat is 1.6 kJ/kgK According to my small pocket technical guide "Gieck Technical Formula's" it's 1.42 kJ/kgK
What Rank specific heat of various materials from lowest to highest?
The specific heat of materials typically follows this general ranking from lowest to highest: metals (such as aluminum and copper), non-metallic solids (such as wood and plastic), liquids (such as water and oil), and gases (such as air and helium). However, it's important to note that specific heat values can vary depending on the specific material and its composition.
