specific heat capacity Hydrogen Bonding in Water Another unique property of water is that it has a very high ______________________. This means that water can _______ and ________ large amounts of _______ as it is heated or cooled. However, these large changes in energy only result in _______ changes in _______________. In other words, water resists changes in temperature. specific heat capacity absorb release energy small temperature
Hydrogen Bonding in Water This is because in before you can make the molecules move _______ the hydrogen bonds between them have to be ___________. Therefore, when you heat water most of the energy actually goes into breaking the hydrogen bonds. Water’s high specific heat helps to stabilize your body’s ______________ and the Earth’s different ____________ within a suitable range for life. faster broken temperature climates
Specific Heat of Water Specific heat is defined as: the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1ºC. Water has a very high specific heat of 4.184

Summary During the summer the ocean is cold and it takes tremendous energy from the sun all winter to heat it up by the end summer time. Then all winter long the ocean water is actually warmer on average than the air temperature! All of that thermal energy is stored by the water, because of hydrogen bonding, taking all winter to cool down again in time for summer when the air starts to get too hot!
