1 gram of iron contains less energy than 1 gram of water primarily due to the difference in their specific heat capacities. Water has a high specific heat capacity (about 4.18 J/g°C), meaning it can store more thermal energy per gram per degree of temperature change. In contrast, iron has a lower specific heat capacity (about 0.45 J/g°C), indicating it can store significantly less thermal energy under the same conditions. This difference results in water having a greater energy content for the same mass compared to iron.

Where does less that one hundredth of one percent of earths fresh water exist?
In the bottle of water in front of me. It contains about 1 sixtillionths of 1 percent the world's water which, as required, is less than 1 hundredth of 1 percent.
Does 1L of water at 65 F have more or less or the same energy as 1L of water at 65 C?
1 liter of water at 65°C has significantly more energy than 1 liter of water at 65°F. This is because 65°F is approximately 18.3°C, meaning the water at 65°C has a higher thermal energy due to its higher temperature. Thus, the energy content of the water is directly related to its temperature.
Why do steel ships float if the density of iron is much greater than the density of water?
The ships are not made of solid iron. They contain much empty space where the cargo and or passengers go. So the overall density of a ship: its TOTAL mass divided by its TOTAL volume is less than that of water.
Which is have a greater volume 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron?
Oh, what a lovely question! You see, both 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron have the same weight because they both weigh 1 kilogram. However, copper is denser than iron, so a 1-kilogram block of copper will take up less space than a 1-kilogram block of iron. It's all about how tightly packed the atoms are in each material.
Is a bucket of snow is heavier or a bucket of water?
A bucket of water is heavier than a bucket of snow when both are of the same size. This is because water is denser than snow; snow contains a significant amount of air, which makes it lighter. Thus, even a full bucket of snow will weigh less than a full bucket of water.
How much iron is in water?
The amount of iron in water can vary depending on the source. In natural freshwater sources, it is typically less than 0.3 mg/L. Higher levels of iron in water can result from industrial pollution or corroded pipes in the distribution system.
Why is it true that a cup of boiling water contains less heat than a large iceberg?
While the boiling water is at a higher temperature, the iceberg contains significantly more thermal energy due to its larger mass. The iceberg has stored more heat energy to maintain its frozen state, whereas the boiling water is closer to its boiling point but has less overall energy.
Does ice cold water have more eneergy than cold tap water?
The energy content of still water isolated from external energy sources is generally thermal energy, and "cold" is in actuality the absence of heat. Thus the colder the water is, the less thermal energy it contains.
True or false 10 g of ice contains less heat energy than 10 g of water?
True
What makes iron ships float?
The structure of an iron ship is such that its density is less than that of water. Anything with a density less than water will float in water.
How much iron is in a paperclip?
A typical paperclip contains less than a gram of iron, usually around 0.5 grams.
Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
If there is lots of particles in copperis there more energy or less energy?
water has the more energy. ice has less energy.
Does liquid iron has less thermal energy or more thermal energy?
Iron naturally exists in solid state and heat is required for its liquifaction so liquid iron has high thermal energy.
Which do you think contains more matter and occupies more space 1kg of iron or 1kg of cotton?
1kg of iron contains more matter and occupies less space than 1kg of cotton. Iron is denser than cotton, so it has a higher mass-to-volume ratio.
How do you separate water oil and iron nails?
First, use a magnet to get the iron nails out because iron is a magnetic material and will be attracted to the magnet. Now what you have left is the water and oil. Fortunately, oil is less dense than oil and it will float on top of the water. Use a separating funnel to tap the water out from the bottom and collect it in a container. You can also use a spoon to get the oil out from a container which contains the oil and water since oil floats on the surface.
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Each level in a food chain contains less energy because energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration and digestion as it moves up the chain. This means that less energy is available for transfer to the next level.
