    Why are specific heat high in water but low in ethylene glycol?

    hahaha i just had my breakthrough with the vibrational energy and the bond strength thanks to your equation and your link about the vibrational of triatomic molecules!okay so basically: En = (n+1/2)hw where 'w' is the frequency of the vibrations. As seen on...

    Why are specific heat high in water but low in ethylene glycol?

    Hah thankyou yeah I've realized that the provide a theoretical explanation for why some molecules contain higher specific heats the others its rather complex and I am sure if I right but it can be impossible at times? Well without experimentation. But since I've been researching this for the...

    Why are specific heat high in water but low in ethylene glycol?

    Im sorry to ask such a question but I've been trying to understand the molecular reasons for why specific heat is high in some molecules but low in others. For example water has a specific heat of 4180 yet has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius but ethylene glycol (ethane 1,2 di-ol) has a...
