Answer:

a very high value of its heat or specific capacity

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a compound that has hydrogen in its system, hydrogen atoms can form bonds called hydrogen bridges, they give water a high capacity to store heat, at a macroscopic level these characteristics are reflected in a very high value of its heat or specific capacity

ce = 4186 J / kg ÂșC

therefore to change the temperature the water must absorb a lot of energy
