sascha notices that it takes a long time for a pot of water to reach the boiling point. what property of water is she observing?

water has a high specific heat capacity.
water has a low specific heat capacity.
water has a high heat of vaporization.
water has a low heat of vaporization.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the heat energy necessary to raise the temperature of a 1 kg of substance by one degree celsius.

For example, specific heat of water is 4.18 J

Whereas heat of vaporization is the energy absorbed at a certain temperature to convert a unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapor state.

Hence, we can conclude that Sascha is observing the property that water has a high specific heat capacity.
