Water has the highest specific heat, sand and granite could be very similar but there are very many types of sand so no definite relationship can be given without more information.
Specific heat of sand is less than that of water.
Sand. it takes more to heat it though.
water
WAter.
yes.
Water - but strictly speaking a Specific Heat Capacity is more correct.
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Water has.
The answer is that the specific heat is unusually high. This means that you have to supply more heat than for most substances in order to raise the temperature by each degree C.
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 is the specific heat of granite?
water has it's highest specific heat in it's liquid state at 4.184 J/g-K
Water - but strictly speaking a Specific Heat Capacity is more correct.
Almost any metal and many rocks/minerals; iron copper lead granite to name just four
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
iron
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.
Specific heat of water is 1 calory per gram .
the granite will get hot from being heated repeatedly and you will get cold from plunging into cold water. not sure why you you want to do either.
