It is higher than that of water

Explanation:

i just finnished the quiz

Brooks · Answer 2

It is higher than that of water

Explanation:

Because we now know that through experimentation, the new compound has a higher and stronger hydrogen bonds than water, the specific heat capacity will be higher.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of as substance by 1°C.

This property is a physical property of matter. Most physical properties are a function of intermolecular forces in a compound. Since hydrogen bond is a very strong intermolecular force, the specific heat capacity will be stronger for the compound discovered. This implies that it will require more heat to raise the temperature of a unit mass of this compound by 1°C.
