Does lower or higher specific heat hold more energy?
higher
When the same quantity of heat is added per unit as does a substance having a lower specific heat warm more or less than a substance having a higher specific heat?
specific quantity
What substances that heat and cool quickly have a high or low specific heat?
A substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.
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.
Does a high or low specific heat mean the substance heats up so fast?
low specific heat is like sand and high specific heat is like water at the beach it may be hot outside the water is still cold but the sand is hot as ever.
What has a higher specific heat water or rubbing alcohol?
rubbing alcohol has higher specific heat
Does a higher specific heat capacity mean that something will cool down faster?
sure :D
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
Which has high specific heat monoatomic or diatomic gas?
diotomic has a higher specific heat ratio
Metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities than nonmetallic substances?
yes metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities
Does lower or higher specific heat hold more energy?
higher
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
Is soil the highest specific heat capacity?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
What has a higher specific heat than water?
The specific heat of liquid water is 4.183 J / g K. Lithium liquid has a higher specific heat at 4.379, as does Hydrogen gas at 14.30. Helium gas also does at 5.1932 Finally, liquid Ammonia has a higher specific heat at 4.700.
When the same quantity of heat is added per unit as does a substance having a lower specific heat warm more or less than a substance having a higher specific heat?
specific quantity
Why the experimental value of specific heat capacity is higher than the standars value?
Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.
