Question

Why does a large container of boiling water contain more heat than a kilogram of lead at 300°c7? O because lead Is heavier than water and will not absorb as much heat O because water will vaporize faster and change to steam, therefore absorbing more heat than the lead O because the specific gravity of lead is much greater than that of water, keeping it from absorbing as o because water's specific heat is much greater than that of lead, therefore this amount of lead cannot contain as much heat

Answer 1

It is because of the differences in specific heats. The specific heat of water is much higher than that of lead. It takes more heat to raise water to a boiling point and keep it there than it takes lead to maintain a temperature of of 300oC.

It's all due to specific heat. The answer, though poorly worded, is the last choice.

Answer 2

Answer:

because water's specific heat is much greater than that of lead, therefore this amount of lead cannot contain as much heat.
