Question

Table C: Known Specific Heat Values for Common Materials

Answer 1

Answer:

Water is the best insulator.

Explanation:

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K.

A good insulator has a high specific heat capacity.

This means that it absorbs more heat for raising its temperature by 1 K.

This is a property of a good insulator.

Among the given materials, water has the highest specific heat capacity.

Hence, water is the best insulator.
