Question

water has a high specific heat capacity. what does this mean? the temperature of water changes very slowly. the density of water changes very quickly.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. A high specific heat capacity means a substance needs a large amount of heat to change its temperature. For water, this implies its temperature changes slowly as it can absorb or release a lot of heat without a significant temperature shift. Density and specific heat capacity are different properties, so the option about density changing quickly is incorrect.

Answer:

The temperature of water changes very slowly.
