Chapter 1, Problem 1.40PP

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The species between water and sea water that has higher specific heat with a valid explanation.

Introduction:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of $1\text{g}$ of a substance by $1°\text{C}$. It is mathematically expressed as,

$\text{Specific}\text{heat}\text{capacity}=\frac{\text{Heat}}{\text{grams}\times \Delta T}$
