1). The old hot water bottle would not work as well as it does. The rubber bag would cool off long before your bedsheets or your legs got warmed up.
2). The ice in your drink would be melted and gone long before the drink cooled down.
-- The teapot would boil sooner
-- It would take less ice to cool your drink to the desired temp. (Assuming that the latent heat of fusion remained the same as it is now.)
The water in it would heat up, and partially evaporate.
Water has a greater specific heat.
increase kinetic energy.
The heat would stay in the pot and if you don't watch the boiling water it could over-boil. Other than that, nothing would really happen.
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).
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
it would evaporate much much more
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
Heat and thus energy storage. UK heating systems in homes use circulating water to heat homes because of water's high Specific Heat Capacity.
Specific heat of water is 1 calory per gram .
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
Contrary to popular belief, water does not have the highest specific heat. Water has a specific heat of 4.185 Joules per Gram per Kelvin Hydrogen Gas, which probably has the highest specific heat capacity, is 14.304 Joules per Gram per Kelvin
Water has a greater specific heat.
we would have to always heat up saltwater to drink water
