The property that allows water to resist changes in temperature is its high specific heat (Option a is correct).
- Specific heat refers to the amount of heat that one substance needs absorb or lose to change (either rise or decrease) its temperature by one (1) degree Celsius (°C).
- The high heat capacity of the water is due to the hydrogen bonds among H2O molecules.
- When heat is absorbed, these hydrogen bonds are broken down and then H2O molecules move freely.
In conclusion, the property that allows water molecules TO RESIST CHANGES in temperature is its high specific heat (Option a is correct).
