Homework Statement
water takes more times than milk of same temperature,to be heated to the same higher temperature-- why?
Why does water take longer to heat up than milk?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Water takes longer to heat up than milk due to its higher specific heat capacity. The specific heat of water is approximately 4.18 J/g°C, which is greater than that of milk, resulting in water requiring more energy to achieve the same temperature increase. This fundamental property of water explains why, under identical conditions, it takes more time to heat water compared to milk.
