    Water is suitable for use in hot water bottles because it has a high specific heat capacity. This allows it to absorb large amounts of heat without its temperature changing very much. A 0.75 kg bottle of water initially at 90°C and used for 30 minutes lost heat such that its final temperature was 30°C. The calculated energy released was 3600 kJ. Vegetable oil should not be used as it has a lower specific heat capacity than water, so it would heat and cool more quickly than desired.

    1 A hot water bottle is a container filled with hot water and sealed with a stopper. It used for
    applying heat to a specific part of the body.

    Hot water bottle


    !Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/Kg/ C o

    !
    Boiling point of water = 100 oC

    ! 1 (a) (i) Why


    Water has a high specific heat capacity.

    does this fact make water a suitable substance to use in a hot water bottle?
