The Specific Heat Of A Substance Is The Amount Of Heat Energy Required To Raise The Temperature Of 1 Gram Of That Substance By 1 C Heat Energy Energy Heat Because of its high specific heat capacity the water warms up much more slowly than the land during summer and consequently wind from the sea has a cooling. . Heating rising temperature Rise of temperature increase in kinetic energy of molecules of that substance Increase in kinetic energy of molecules of that substance decrease in intermolecular attraction. This is why water is valuable to industries and in your cars radiator as a coolant. It fact it is the highest SH. Water has a specific heat capacity of 4182 JkgC. Why does water have a high specific heat. Why d...
