Question : Water is not suitable as a calorimetric substance because it:
Option 1: has high specific heat
Option 2: is a good conductor
Option 3: has high boiling water
Option 4: low latent heat of vapourisation
Correct Answer: has high specific heat
Solution : The correct option is to have high specific heat.
Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it requires a lot of energy to heat up. This makes it unsuitable as a calorimetric material since it may absorb a large amount of heat from a process without significantly affecting its temperature. The calorimetric material must have a low specific heat capacity to absorb too much heat from the process.
