Would Fevers Run Higher or Lower If Water's Specific Heat

question 44

Multiple Choice

Would fevers run higher or lower if water's specific heat were not so high?

• A)With a lower specific heat, water would require a higher energy input to change its temperature. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a lower temperature.
• B)With a lower specific heat, water would gain a higher temperature for the same amount of energy input. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a higher temperature.
• C)A lower specific heat would not effect its ability to change waters temperature, so it would not have an effect on our fevers.
• D)With a lower specific heat, our bodies would evaporate (sweat)twice as much water, therefore our fevers would be lower.
