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).

How would you show that water is not a good conductor of heat?

A test tube is filled with tap water (about 25oC). An ice block is placed in the test tube and is kept at the bottom of the test tube by means of a wire gauze. Next (without delaying too much since the ice block would melt completely!), the test tube is bent and the upper end of the test tube placed in a Bunsen flame. It is found that the water at the upper end boils before the ice block melts. This shows that water is a poor conductor of heat.


Why does a cup of Milo cool down more quickly when placed in a basin of tap water?

The cold tap water transports the heat of the hot Milo away (especially if the Milo container is thermally conductive (a metal or very thin) and especially if both the surrounding cold water and the hot drink are stirred.Therefore, it cools down faster!


What is the temperature of tap water in Celsius?

The temperature of tap water is typically around 10-20 degrees Celsius.


Why does flow of water from a tap decrease when someone opens another tap?

When another tap is opened, it creates an additional demand for water in the plumbing system, causing a drop in pressure. This drop in pressure results in a decreased flow of water from the original tap as the system redistributes the water to meet the demands of both taps.


Why does a cup of milo cool down more quickly when place in a basin of tap water?

Placing a cup of Milo in a basin of tap water allows for better heat transfer between the cup and the surrounding water, causing the Milo to cool down faster. Water has a higher thermal conductivity than air, so it absorbs heat from the cup more efficiently, leading to quicker cooling.

Can you heat mineral water?

Yes you can. Tap water has minerals in it too. You can heat any substance: heat is the amount of energy, so your just adding energy.

Why is the cold tap water warm instead of cold?

The cold tap water may feel warm initially due to the pipes being exposed to heat sources, such as the sun or a nearby heater. This can cause the water in the pipes to absorb some of the heat, making it feel warmer when first turned on.

Can clams live in tap water?

Clams are not suited to live in tap water for an extended period of time as the water parameters are typically not ideal for their health and survival. Clams require specific water conditions, such as proper salinity levels, pH, and temperature, which are different from what is found in tap water. It is recommended to provide clams with filtered or purified saltwater that meets their specific needs in order for them to thrive.
