It is because the density increases as you add salt and with all other substances the higher the density the lower the specific heat. For example water has a density of 1000 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 4186 J/Kg. On the other hand copper has a density of 8960 Kg m -3 and a specific heat of 385 J/Kg.

∙ 14y agoTaking into account the heat capacities of both water and sodium chloride 3.5% sodium chloride and water solution (similar to the ocean) would be around 3.982776 j/g oC.

Which have lowest specific heat capacity?
They will be the same because the molecular structure of the tea is the same as the molecular structure of water. The added tea to water does not affect the molecular structure of water.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
Water has a high specific heat capacity which means that water?
Has strong binding forces among the molecules.
Is soil the highest specific heat capacity?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
Does the mass of water affect temperature rise?
Yes due to something called 'specific heat capacity', this is basically that the more water there is, the hotter it can get.

What is the specific capacity of water?
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Does water or iron has the largest specific heat capacity?
Of those two substances, water has.
What is the heat of water?
the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / kg °C
