The boiling point is increased after adding impurities to water.

∙ 12y agoWater has a high specific heat capacity of 4.18J/°C*g.
As the units indicate, the specific heat capacity indicates the amount of joules (J) required to raise the temperature by 1°C per gram. A lot of energy is required to do so. Why?
Water has hydrogen bonding between the oxygen and hydrogen. O-H bonds. As there is a very big difference in electronegativity between the elements, the bond is very polar. One is very - and the other is very +. As such, they attract each other heavily and the bond is hard to break. Harder it is to break a bond, longer does it take to heat it up.

∙ 15y agoBecause water has a high specific heat. Waters specific heat is higher than any other common substance.

∙ 14y agoBecause the make up (molecules that make up H2O) prevent it from heating quickly.

∙ 13y agoWater has a high specific heat due to hydrogen bonding. This means water will resist change in temperature and it will take more energy to reach boiling point.

Does it take longer for water to cool or heat up?
It takes longer to cool off, but mostly depending on the temperature.
When you add an object in water why does it take longer to heat up?
because the object needs also to heat up
Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
Why does it take longer to heat a bucket of water than a cup of water?
Because there is more water in a bucket than in a cup, and more energy has to be put into the bucket of water than the little cup of water to bring them to the same temperature.
What is the variable of adding salt to tap water?
it will take longer to freeze
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
Does the amount of water affect when the water boils?
yes. the more water the longer it would take for the heating element to heat the water. the less water, the less time it would take to heat.

Why does water take longer to melt than tomato sauce?
Because when you are cooking sauce it's thicker then water so it takes longer to heat.
Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
Why does it take water longer to cool down?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
Does the amount of carbon atoms effect the heating of water?
Sort of. If carbon has a lower specific heat than water, the more percentage of the water is carbon, the easier it will heat up. Otherwise, it will take longer.
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
What keep the heat longer water or oil?
Oil.
