One substance that heats more slowly than many other substances is?
The substance that heats more slowly than other substances could be water. But this idea is based on the high heat capacity of water. It takes more thermal energy (heat) to elevate the temperature of a given amount of water than an equal amount of another substance. But other substances might heat more slowly than water because heat does not travel "into" or "through" them very well. Different experiments may yield different results.
Waters high specific heat is mainly a consequence of?
Water has a high specific heat capacity because it is a relatively light molecule (18 grams per mole). The specific heats of molecules are all about the same on a per-molecule basis, especially at higher temperatures. This is called the law of Dulong and Petit. At low temperatures, it gets more complicated because the vibrations of molecules are quantized. When specific heats are measured on a per-gram basis, lighter molecules have higher specific heats. For example, the specific heat of hydrogen (H2), which has a molecular weight of 2 grams per mole, is much higher than that of water. Liquid water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids (such as alcohols) because its molecules are lighter.
When magma heats underground water the result may be?
When magma comes in contact with underground water, it creates hot springs, or geysers.
What does gravity spicific mean?
Perhaps you mean "specific gravity". That refers to an object's density, compared to the density of a reference subtance (usually water). For example, if iron has 8 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is said to be 8.
When the vaporization starts?
It starts when water heats up and turns into a gas
Why are metals good conducted of heats?
If you haven't learned in your chemistry class about specific heat you will and metal has a very low specific heat. Water has a specific heat of is about 4.18 Joules/g, but most metals are underneath 1 making them be more susceptible to heat changes.
What is the answer of a metal spoon is hotter than a wooden spoon after the spoons are put in a basin of hot water for 5 minutes?
Metals have specific heats higher than wood.
Which heats faster?
The air heats faster than the water because water has a higher heat capacity. As a result water takes four times more heat energy as compared to air.
Does water heat up just as quickly as land heats up?
it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.
What substance is used as the standard against which we meassure specific heats?
Water is used as the standard against which one measures specific heats. Water has a specific heat of 1 Btu/lb/deg F or 1 J/g/deg C.
What substance is used at the standard against which you measure specific heats?
water (H20)
Specific gravity of liquid hydrocarbon is compared to what?
water

Why does land become hot faster than a body of water?
Water heats slower because it has a higher specific heat capacity.
Does water have a relatively low specifc heat?
No, water's specific heat capacity is quite high actually, compared to metals which are very low. Water's specific heat is 4.18 Jewels Per Grams X Degrees Celsius where a metal such as Iron is only 0.45. Water is used in many different applications to store heat because of this
Why are most metals hard?
I think it is because metals are non-porous, with more dense and compacted molecules compared with water, wood or other porous materials.
