Question

2 examples of low specific heat

Answer 1

Water has a very high specific heat, therefore it is very hard to change its temperature, while the sand has a relatively low specific heat, meaning the sun heats it up very quickly with little energy. I have a short simple explanation given to me by my science teacher: You notice how on a hot day at the beach, when the bright sun is shining on everything you see, that the sand you stand on is very hot, yet the water is cold?

Answer 2

the specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance by one degree centigrade
the examples of low specific heat are below



•lead-------->0.031
•mercury------->0.033
•brass----->0.092
•zinc-------->0.093



I hope it helps to you ☺☺
