which of the following has highest specific heat capacity
1.aluminium
2.copper
3.water
4.none of these
Dear Student,
Specific heat capacity is maximum for water.
The specific heat capacity is maximum for water due to hydrogen bonding. When temperature is high then Hydrogen bonds break and when temperature become less then hydrogen bond again formed between the molecules with the release of high amount of energy.
Specific heat capacity is maximum for water.
