To raise the temperature of both an equal amount, water would require more energy.

In terms of the energy required to raise the temperature:

iron = 0.45 joules / gram . kelvin

water = 4.2 joules / gram . kelvin

This is known as the specific heat capacity of a material

Iron would require a greater amount of heat to raise its temperature compared to water. This is because iron has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more heat energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius compared to water.

1 kilogram of water is heated together with 1 kilogram of iron.Which would require greater amount of heat and why?

Iron would require a higher amount of heat due to the fact that it is a metal and has stronger bonds than water does. Water is made up of hydrogen bonds which allow it to heat up quickly.


What would expect to happen to a sidewalk over the course of years when rainwater continues to soak in to concrete and freeze?

If water is allowed to get into a concrete sidewalk and not allowed to drain and it freezes, the expansion of the water/ice as it crystallizes causes the concrete to crack. If more water settles in the crack and freezes, the crack gets bigger. Each year the increase in the size of the crack is greater because a greater amount of water can fit in the crack, and a greater amount of water has a greater amount of expansion when it freezes.


Would expect pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of mercury?

if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of mercury the pressure experienced would be greater than if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of water.


Can plywood float?

It depends on theplywood density if it is denser then water then you would have to make a shape causing it to displace an equal or greater amount of water in weight for it to float.


Which material would require the least amount of energy to change 1kg from a solid to a liquid ethanol aluminum propane or water?

Water would require the least amount of energy to change 1kg from a solid to a liquid because it has a lower melting point compared to the other materials listed (ethanol, aluminum, propane).


Remove water from gas tank?

A small amount of water such as a couple ounces could be treated with a dose of dry gas with each next few fill ups. A larger amount of water would require removal of the fuel tank to get it all out.


When will a ball filling with water sink?

The ball will sink when the weight of the water inside the ball plus the weight of the ball is greater than the weight of the amount of water that would fit inside the ball.

Which type of soil would allow rainwater to reach the well faster and in greater amount?

Sandy soil would allow rainwater to reach the well faster and in greater amount compared to clay soil. Sandy soil has larger particles and better drainage, allowing water to infiltrate more quickly to reach the well. Clay soil has smaller particles and poor drainage, which slows down the movement of water towards the well.


Which is present in sea water in greater amount between sodium chloride and calsium?

I would say sodium chloride as it is also known as salt-water, calcium is found in chalky cliffs "white cliffs of dover", so near there may be a high amount but sodium chloride would be in greater amounts in the majority of sea water


What can you conclude from seeing identical containers with identical fish in them but with different volume of water in each container?

The one with the greater surface area would have more oxygen available to the fish. The one with the greater volume has a fixed amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in a given amount. The one with the greater surface area has more oxygen available over time.
