Question

Hydrogen bonding between water molecules makes them tend to stick together. How does this affect the specific heat (SH) and heat of vaporization (HOV) of water

Answer 1

The specific heat and heat of vaporization of water will be very high.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strength of the hydrogen bonds and the attractions that they create between water molecules makes it much harder for water to increase in temperature.

This is because the bonds need to be broken before the water can vaporize (heat of vaporization) or increase in temperature (specific heat)
