(N/A) The specific heat capacity of water $(c)$ is not constant; it varies with temperature.
At $0 \ ^\circ C$,the specific heat capacity of water is approximately $4.217 \ J/g \cdot K$.
As the temperature increases,the specific heat capacity decreases,reaching a minimum value of approximately $4.178 \ J/g \cdot K$ at around $35 \ ^\circ C$.
Beyond $35 \ ^\circ C$,the specific heat capacity starts to increase again as the temperature rises toward $100 \ ^\circ C$.
The graph of specific heat capacity versus temperature is a $U$-shaped curve,showing a minimum at room temperature.
