sascha notices that it takes a long time for a pot of water to reach the boiling point. what property of water is she observing?

water has a high specific heat capacity.
water has a low specific heat capacity.
water has a high heat of vaporization.
water has a low heat of vaporization.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the heat energy necessary to raise the temperature of a 1 kg of substance by one degree celsius.

For example, specific heat of water is 4.18 J

Whereas heat of vaporization is the energy absorbed at a certain temperature to convert a unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapor state.

Hence, we can conclude that Sascha is observing the property that water has a high specific heat capacity.

straight probes are used primarily for measuring flow as it is approaching the test area. its geometry allows the probe to be mounted so that it is in the direct line of airflow.
