why does water have high specific heat a water is not very d

why does water have high specific heat

a. water is not very dense like metals and doesnt conduct heat as readily

b. much of the heat added to water is converted to kintetic energy

c. none of the heat is stored as potential energy

d. much of the added energy is required to break hydrogen bonds

e. none of these

Solution

D) because of strong inter molecular hydrogen bonding between water molecules (3 H bonds per single water molecule) water have high specific heat
