Question

In comparison to most other liquids, the heat capacity of liquid water is ________.

a. about the same as other liquids
b. related to a solvent concentration
c. higher than other liquids
d. a function of salinity lower than other liquids

Answer 1

c. higher than other liquids

Step-by-step explanation:

As many other anomaly in water, heat capacity is consequence of relatively strong hydrogen bonds. Because of these bond, molecules of water need more energy (than many others liquids) to increase their movement (vibration) and, finaly, to increase temperature of water.
