To make sure that there are no temperature gradients and that is the heat is distributed uniformly.
Water has a greater specific heat.

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).
Yes due to something called 'specific heat capacity', this is basically that the more water there is, the hotter it can get.
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.
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)
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
Water.
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.

Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Of those two substances, water has.
the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / kg °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.
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
