The specific heat of water S.I. unit is.

In SI system specific heat capacity of water is

Water, flowing through a pipe at the rate of "0.15 kg.min"^(-1) , is heated by a 25.2 W heater. Temperature of the incoming and the outgoing water are 15.2^(@)C and 17.4^(@)C respectively. When the rate of flow of water is increased to "0.2318 kg.min"^(-1) and rate of heating to 37.8W, temperature of incoming and outgoing water remain the same. Find the specific heat capacity of water and the rate of loss of heat through the pipe.

Water has high specific heat due to

Boiling occurs ___

A sample of 100 gm of water is slowly heated from 27^(@)C to 87^(@)C . Calculate the change in the entropy of water. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J cdot kg^(-1) cdot K^(-1)

A scientist proposes a new temperature scale in which the ice point is 25 X(X is the new unit of ternperature) and the steam point is 305 X. The specific heat capacity of water in this new scale is (in Jkg^(-1)X^(-1) )
