A particular compound has a stronger hydrogen bonds than water. A student states that the substance probably has a higher specific heat than water. Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: Yes we agree with his statement

Explanation: Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

Thus if a particular compound has stronger hydrogen bonds than water, it means the molecules are more strongly bonded and thus to break those inter molecular forces, more amount of heat is required and thus specific heat of that substance would be more.

Hence we agree with his statement.
