Water is not suitable as a calorimetric substance because it :
A). Has high specific heat
B). Is a good conductor
C). Has high boiling point
D). Low latent heat of vapourization
Has high specific heat
The specific heat of water is higher than all other common substances. Hence, water is used for heating purposes (as in hot water bottles) and for cooling purposes (as in radiators of cars). Off all the liquids, mercury has the lowest specific heat due to which it is used as a thermometric liquid .
