Is there any material have higher specific heat capacity rather than water?

Yes. Check the Wikipedia article on "specific heat", and you'll find some - for example ammonia, lithium at certain temperatures, and helium.

By what quantity must the heat capacity of an object be divided to obtain the specific heat of that material?
Heat capacity is in the measurement of (kilo)Joules per mol degree Kelvin (J/mol K) Specific heat capacity is in joules/gram degree Kelvin (J/ gram K) Converting between the two is rather simple. To convert to specific heat capacity, divide the molar heat capacity by the molar mass of the molecule in question. eg. ( J/ mol K) / (grams/mol ) = J/ gram K, because mols will cancel.
Specific heat of iron?
The correct term is 'specific heat capacity', not 'specific heat', and it is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin in SI. There are lots of sources of information on this topic on the internet, so why not do a search rather than have someone do one for you?
How is heat capacity a path function?
Heat capacity is NOT a path function. It is a STATE function. It depends on the phase of the material, the temperature and the pressure. Usually heat capacity is known at some particular condition and then a calculation is required to estimate it at the condition of interest. Performing these calculations should always result in the same final value no matter the path you took to get to the value - hence it is a STATE function rather than PATH. Path functions would be things like WORK and HEAT (for which the state function "heat capacity" might be used in the calculations)

food, trash, plants, reading material, clothes
What would happen if a lighting rod were made of an insulation material rather than conducting material?
Such a rod would not be a lightning rod. It would not attract lightning and would not work as a lightning rod. In fact, it would do nothing but stand up and occupy space.

Why are magnets in different shapes and sizes?
Why not? The capacity of being magnetized does not depend on the shape or on the size, but rather on the kind of material.
Can you spray driveway cleaner with your airless?
You can, but airless sprayers are not designed to broadcast material, rather to apply material in a specific area. Depending on the capacity of the airless sprayer and the tip used, you'll only apply as little as a quart per minute onto the surface. Better alternatives would be a pressure washer using the fluid injector or a pump-up garden sprayer.

How much electricity does a 200 liter geyser use?
It depends on its kilowattage rather than its fluid capacity and also on the output temperature if its temperature control specific
What is the purpose of the backup?
A d2d, also known as a disk-to-disk, is where a computer hard drive is backed up to another hard disk rather than a tape or a floppy. It allows for higher speed and higher capacity.

Why do most heating systems use water rather than oil?
The GCSE mark scheme says: Water has a higher specific heat capacity than oil [1 mark] so it can store and then release more energy than oil [1 mark]. There you go :)
What is the relationship between cash crop (tobacco) and raw material?
A cash crop is one that you grow to sell rather than use yourself. A raw material is what you start with to make something else. There is no specific connection between them, but obviously a cash crop might be used as a raw material, for instance sugar cane for bioethanol.
Is a gambit a move in chess?
A gambit is not any specific move. Rather, it is a type of move. A gambit is a move which apparently sacrifices material (generally a pawn). It is played in order to have a long-term strategic advantage which makes up for the short-term material loss.
What is an eclectic reader?
An eclectic reader is someone who enjoys reading a wide variety of genres, styles, and topics. They choose their reading material based on personal interest rather than following a specific pattern or genre preference.
