Question

1. what is the specific heat of water?

○ 4.18 j/g°c
○ 8.36 j/g°c
○ 1.00 j/g°c
○ 9.18 j/g°c

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water (in its liquid state) is a well - known value in the field of thermodynamics (a part of Physics, which is a sub - field of Natural Science). The accepted value for the specific heat of water is \(4.18\space J/g^{\circ}C\) (or sometimes approximated as \(4.184\space J/g^{\circ}C\)). The other options (\(8.36\space J/g^{\circ}C\), \(1.00\space J/g^{\circ}C\), \(9.18\space J/g^{\circ}C\)) do not match the known specific heat of water.

Answer:

A. \(4.18\space J/g^{\circ}C\)
