Question

Give an example, where high specific heat capacity of water is used as a heat reservoir.

Answer 1

1. Heat capacity is the heat required to increase an object's temperature by one degree. Heat gain or loss results in changes in temperature, state, and performance of the work.
2. Water is used in cold countries as a heat reservoir for wine and juice bottles to prevent their freezing.
3. Due to high specific heat capacity water imparts a large amount of heat before reaching the freezing temperature.
4. The bottles kept in the water remain warm and do not get freeze.
