MediumIs the specific heat of water and ice the same? Give their values.
(N/A) No, the specific heat capacities of water and ice are not the same.
The specific heat capacity of water is approximately $4.18 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $1 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).
The specific heat capacity of ice is approximately $2.09 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $0.5 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).
