Question: Which heats and cools faster: sand or water? Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that sand will heat and cool more quickly than the same amount of water placed under the same conditions. This is because water has a higher specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C) compared to sand’s specific heat capacity (0.29 J/g°C). The specific heat capacity is how much heat energy it takes to change the temperature of the material one degree. Since water has a higher specific heat capacity it will take more heat

How does salt damage concrete surfaces? Salt lowers the pH balance in the concrete. Because it is acidic‚ it weakens the strength of the concrete and increases the sizes of the pores. This allows water and other elements to penetrate the surface. Salt also attracts and retains water‚ absorbing 10% more water into the concrete.
