What is Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature. The SI unit of specific heat is joule per kelvin and kilogram, J/(K kg). The specific heat often varies with temperature and is different for each state of matter. The specific heat of a substance is typically determined according to the definition; namely, by measuring the heat capacity of a sample of the substance, usually with a calorimeter, and dividing by the sample's mass.

How to Calculate Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity calculator uses Specific Heat Capacity=Energy Required/(Mass*Rise in Temperature) to calculate the Specific Heat Capacity, Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount. Specific Heat Capacity and is denoted by Cp symbol.

How to calculate Specific Heat Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Heat Capacity, enter Mass (m), Energy Required (E) and Rise in Temperature (ΔT) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Heat Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 11.84767 = 4200/(35.45*10).

FAQ

What is Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount and is represented as Cp=E/(m*ΔT) or Specific Heat Capacity=Energy Required/(Mass*Rise in Temperature). Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it, Energy Required is the amount of total heat required and Rise in Temperature is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.

How to calculate Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount is calculated using Specific Heat Capacity=Energy Required/(Mass*Rise in Temperature). To calculate Specific Heat Capacity, you need Mass (m), Energy Required (E) and Rise in Temperature (ΔT). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Mass, Energy Required and Rise in Temperature and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
