I'm trying to find this answer on the regular "oh-so-hated" Google engine, but, unfortunately, I have no luck. Anyone help? It's a science project for my brother, we only have about two days until it's due and he hasn't even started. My sibling conscious is making me do this. Anyone help me, please?

Yes, it's partly a matter of transmission of heat. Different liquids will conduct heat through their mass at different rates which effects the rate at which the whole warms, or cools.

To the other person that answered, she is correct, yes different liquids do warm at different rates. If a demonstration can be done, a simple one would be to slowly heat a small pot of water, and one of oil. Using a thermometer, record the temperature rise of each one over a period of 30 minutes. List which one reaches 212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C, first. By the way, when a liquid is under pressure, it also heats more slowly, but also contains more heat. This is why you should NEVER open the radiator on a car that is hot. The escaping water will turn to steam, and burn you, BADLY!

Yes, the amount heat it takes to heat liquids by 1 degree (specific heat ) is different for different liquids

Yes, It depends on the Heat Capacity (C) of the liquid

yes
the search term you want is 'specific heat' and one of the Google returns is below where you will find a table showing how much heat (Btu/lb) they hold per degree, which vice versa gives how many degrees a pound will rise for specific amounts of heat.

Yes they do. The concept you are talking about is called specific heat capacity and its related to thermodynamics.

different liquids have different freezing point, different boiling point, it's also true for metals, different melting point etc.
