Properties of Water

Question 3 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which statements are true based on specific heat? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Land heats up/cools down faster than water.
B
Regions with moderate climates often have large bodies of water surrounding them.
C
Water boils quicker than alcohol or ether.

Explanation

Land has a lower specific heat than water, so it takes less energy to change its temperature and heats up or cools down faster. Water’s high specific heat helps nearby regions stay more moderate in temperature, so A and B are true. Water does not boil quicker than alcohol or ether; it generally takes more energy to heat because its specific heat is higher.
