The specific heat of water is 1. if an objects specific heat is less than one it will float in water. if it is more than one it will sink. stupid people say that this question makes no sense but it does trust me.

The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C = 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance. As a result, water plays a very important role in temperature regulation. The specific heat per gram for water is much higher than that for a metal, as described in the water-metal example. For most purposes, it is more meaningful to compare the molar specific heats of substances.
The molar specific heats of most solids at room temperature and above are nearly constant, in agreement with the Law of Dulong and Petit. At lower temperatures the specific heats drop as quantum processes become significant. The low temperature behavior is described by the Einstein-Debye model of specific heat.

the specific heat of water is 1 . it has nothing at all to do with density. specific heat of any substance is defined as - The Heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through 1 degree C.

it's one. no questions asked. oh, and you can disregard the statement of floating, specific heat has little to do with density at any given time. specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a given amount of energy by 1 degree celsius (sp?).

That made absolutely no sense at all. But the boiling point of water (the temperature at which water boils) is 100 degrees celcius.
