 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 .
