Because you usually heat up more of it.
Let's say you wanted to make a product that required heated alcohol. Alcohol costs money and hot alcohol is dangerous in numerous ways, so you'll only heat as much as you need--if you need 20cc of it, you'll heat 20cc of it. But water, that's different: you'll heat a whole quart and make tea out of the unused quantity.
What else can I help you with?
What requires less heat to change its temperature than do most other common liquids?
Water requires less heat to change its temperature compared to most other common liquids. This is due to its high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb or release a significant amount of heat with only a small change in temperature.
What liquids are more dense then water?
There are many liquids more dense than water. The most commonly thought of is probably Mercury.
Why couldn't a microwave easily heat up oatmeal by its own?
Microwaves heat only 3 things. Liquids, Fat, and Sugar. Liquids and Fat are the most easily heated. If you are trying to heat oatmeal with no water or anything, it will not heat up because it does not contain much Fat or Water so it will not heat up. Just like trying to heat up a napkin.
What are the uses of a hotplate?
To heat most liquids.
How is water different from most liquids?
Water is different from other liquids because, unlike any other liquid in the world, water can exist in all three states of matter; water vapor, water, and Ice.Water is different from most substances in that when it freezes, it takes up more volume than when it is a liquid.
Why do solids heat up faster than liquids or gases?
Since most of the time we are concerned with heat being transferred via conduction, the denser the material, the easier it is to conduct heat. Except for the rare anomaly (think ice vs liquid water) solids are denser than their corresponding liquid forms. All that is a gross simplification of course. Many liquids heat quite a bit better than solids and convection (which can occur in liquids but not solids) can greatly aid in the speed of "heating up", so the generalization that solids heat up faster than liquids is only a tendency rather than a rule.
Does soil or water heat hold heat more effectively?
Electricity holds the most heats
Do liquids have higher density than solids?
Yes, water is one of the exceptions to the rule that a solid shrinks when it solidifies. Water expands. If you freeze water in glass eg beer bottles, the bottle will shatter as the liquid freezes. Water pipes can burst, metal water bottles will split if frozen full of water. The water takes in air as it freezes, thus ice floats in your glass rather than sinking.
What will the solubilty of most liquids do as temperature increases?
The solubility increases as the temperature increases. This is due to the fact that there is more energy available the higher the heat.
What are the most common liquids?
Water is the most common liquid on Earth. Other common liquids include milk, juice, soda, and oil.
What liquids are most susceptible to bacterial growth?
There are quite a few liquids that are susceptible to bacterial growth. Water and sugary warm liquids are the most susceptible.
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
