Question

Why specific heat of water first decrease and then increase with the rise of temperature? Why it first decrease with the rise of temperature.?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity and heat of vaporization of water. ... This structure makes ice less dense than liquid water. ... It takes a lot of heat to increase the temperature of liquid water because some of the

Answer 2

The explanation is given below:

Explanation:

• The specific heat of liquids is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid.

• As water is heated up, its density increases till it reaches a temperature of  4°C after that the density of water decreases

• Thus, initially the specific heat of water decreases and later after it attains the temperature of 4°C the specific heat increases s the density decreases .

Hope this answer is helpful.
