easy · MCAT chem-phys
Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity of 4186 J/(kg· K).
How does this physical property specifically benefit the human body?
- It facilitates rapid cooling of the skin through evaporation.
- It allows the body to dissolve a wide range of polar and ionic solutes.
- It ensures that ice floats on the surface of water.
- It helps maintain a stable internal temperature despite fluctuations in external heat.
