John wants to cook some macaroni and cheese, so he puts a pot of water on to boil. however, john notices that it is taking a long time for his water to boil. in order for water to change from a liquid to a gas, it must take on large amounts of heat. this is because a. water has a very high particle volume b. water has a high specific heat c. water has a low specific heat d. it does not take a lot of energy to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together

The correct answer is  

B. Water has a high specific heat.

Water specific heat or specific heat capacity represents the quantity of heat that is necessary to increase the temperature of a 1° Celsius per unit of mass of 1 kg of water.

the answer is true when observing or determining population size, a direct observation is use, in which each organism is counted in a population or in an area. one benefit of this measure is that you get the exact population count but it will take a long time to  determine  the  size  of a  population.

its probably to later but whats the question
