one thing is better at holding heat, ammonia.


I assume we're talking about specific heat?
Is the ammonia allowed a phase change?

Sheesh, I'm gonna have to start carrying my roll of taped up dimes
again, when I wander into the garden. I'd say that the group had spring
fever, but I know it isn't spring.

Sure, let the ammonia have a dang phase change. Make it plasma if you
like. Don't be timid now. Where are you going with this? Is there a
planet circling a star in Andromeda, where if one knows where to look,
there is this substance under a rock, that makes water #3? (In specific
heat that is, not like ice #9.)
