- Part C - Specific heat of water The table shown here lists the specific heat of several substances. Specific heat Substance J/g/°C water 4.18 ethyl alcohol 2.44 benzene 1.80 sulfuric acid 1.40 Based on the information in the table, which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) More heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1°C than to raise the temperature of 1 g of ethyl alcohol 1 °C. Sulfuric acid is less resistant to temperature change than water. Ethyl alcohol likely exhibits more hydrogen bonding than water. More heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of benzene 1 °C than to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1 °C. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. Benzene is more resistant to temperature change than sulfuric acid. Water is less resistant to temperature change than ethyl alcohol.arrow_forwardwater can absorbe or release large amount of heat energy with little changes in actual temperature why?!arrow_forwardWithout water, essential chemical reactions would be able to take place in the body because water is necessary for hydrolytic reactions that occur during the breakdown of large organic molecules.
