Water can hold more heat than ice before it changes states. For example, when you add heat to ice, it changes to water almost immediately. When you add heat to water it takes more to turn it into steam.
No, liquid water has a higher heat capacity than liquid ammonia. Water has a high specific heat capacity due to its hydrogen bonding, which allows it to absorb and release heat more effectively than ammonia.
Water has a higher heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb more heat for a given temperature change. However, land heats up and cools down more quickly than water due to its lower heat capacity, which can result in more extreme temperature fluctuations on land compared to water.
Water has a higher heat capacity than steel. This means that water can absorb and store more heat energy without undergoing a significant change in temperature compared to steel. A substance with a higher heat capacity requires more energy to raise its temperature.
No, metal with high heat capacity will not necessarily raise the temperature of water more than a metal with low heat capacity. Heat capacity is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount, so a metal with higher heat capacity can hold more heat energy but may not necessarily transfer it more efficiently to the water. The efficiency of heat transfer depends on factors like conductivity and surface area of the metal.
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
Yes, land does heat more rapidly than water because it has a lower specific heat capacity. This means that it takes less energy to raise the temperature of land compared to water. Land also cools more quickly than water because of its lower heat retention capacity.
Heat capacity of dry soil (0.8 kJ/Kg K) is less than water (4.2 kJ/Kg K) by a factor of about 5. That is water will require 5 times more heat to warm by 1 degree Kelvin (one degree Kelvin = 1 degree Celsius) then the same weight of dry soil.
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature rises. Additionally, water is a better conductor of heat than land, so it can distribute heat more evenly. This is why water tends to stay cooler than land during hot weather.
Sand has a lower specific heat capacity than water, which means it requires less energy to increase its temperature. This results in sand absorbing more heat from the radiation compared to water. Additionally, water has a higher heat capacity, so it absorbs and retains heat more effectively than sand.
No, water has a higher specific heat capacity than aluminium. This means water can absorb and store more heat energy per unit mass compared to aluminium before its temperature increases.
The high heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water make it heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere. Water can absorb and store more heat energy compared to air. Additionally, the mixing of ocean waters and the vastness of the ocean help to distribute and transfer heat more slowly.
