While camping in a tent on a cold night, which would keep you warmer for a longer period of time. a 10 kg bag of hot iron pellets or a 10 kg bag of hot water at the same temperature? Explain. PLEASE ANSWER

a 10 kg bag of hot water at the same temperature

Explanation:

A 10kg bag of hot water at the same temperature will retain heat much better and keep the tent warmer at night compared to the iron pellet.

Water has a very large specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity of water allows for it to retain heat better. It takes a larger amount of heat to warm water compared to iron which is a better conductor. In like manner, it takes more time for water to lose that amount of heat it has gained by the heating process. This is why it is a better choice to keep the room warm
