Question

Water has many of its properties and can act as a major liquid in our bodies due to its high specific heat. However, if water had a LOW heat capacity, its ability to serve as a liquid to maintain homeostasis would be altered. A student makes several claims about the impact the altered heat capacity would have on its properties. Which of these claims would NOT be supported by the change in specific heat capacity of water?

Answer 1

The claim which would not be supported by the change in specific heat capacity of water include reduction in body temperature and dehydration.

What is Specific heat capacity?

This is defined as the quantity of heat needed to raise a substance's temperature by 1 degree Celsius.

If water has a low specific heat capacity then the body temperature will increase which will lead to an increase in dehydration.
