The last person confused specific heat with the temperatures at which phase changes of matter occur in water, at standard temperature and pressure. Additionally the phase referred to as water in that answer is inaccurate. The chemical is water, the phases of water are gas, liquid, and solid, and are common to all substances. I'm purposely leaving out the fourth phase of matter which is plasma. I did so because I don't know much about plasma and whether or not it exists in water, all substances, or is limited as to which substances it occurs in.
