HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

GROUP NAME : WHITE DANDELION

MEMBERS OF THE GROUP : 1) NURUL AMIZA BINTI AZMI
2) NUR ATHIRAH
3) ANIS AFIQAH
 DEFINITION OF HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

THE AMOUNT OF HEAT MUST BE ABSORBED OR LOSS, TO RAISE

THE TEMPERATURE OF 1G OF WATER, BY 1 C PER CALORIE ( CAL )
OR 1 CAL/G/ C

WATER HAS A VERY HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY DUE TO

HYDROGEN BONDING BETWEEN ITS MOLECULES.
