The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*°C, which is read 4.184 Joules per gram degree Celsius.
It can also be stated as 1.00 cal/g*°C, which is read calories per gram degree Celsius (same as centigrade).
These values mean that it takes 4.184 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Or it takes 1.00 calories of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.
4.184 Joules = 1.00 calorie

What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
What is a penny's specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass. So it depends on the exact alloy composity of your penny, and not on its size.In a typical US post-1962 penny, the specific heat capacity is about .39 kJ/kgKIn a US penny from 1864-1962, the specific heat capacity would be a little less than this. The same was true from 1837-1857.From 1793-1837, the specific heat capacity was about .39 kJ/kgK.
Why does salt water evaporate slower than fresh water?
The specific heat capacity of water is about 4.18kJ/kg*K while the specific heat of seawater is about 3.95kJ/kg*K Specific heat capacity is a measure of heat required to increase temperature of something by Celsius or Kelvin. Since water's heat capacity is great than that of seawater, then it takes more heat to bring its temperature up
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Does hydrogen or water has high specific heat capacity?
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
What is the heat of water?
the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / kg °C
Which has a greater specific heat capacity - water or sand?
Water has a greater specific heat.
Which substance having high specific heat capacity?
A common substance with a high specific heat is water. There are a few substances that have a higher heat capacity than water, though, such as lithium and ammonia.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What is the specific heat capacity of sea water?

Which item the towel the sand or the water - has the highest specific-heat capacity?
water
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
How do you measure molar heat capacity?
Specific heat is the heat capacity divided by the heat capacity of water, which makes it dimensionless. To obtain molar heat capacity from specific heat for a material of interest, simply multiply the specific heat by the heat capacity of water per gram [1 cal/(g*C)]and multiply by the molecular weight of the substance of interest. For example, to obtain the molar heat capacity of iron Specific heat of iron = 0.15 (note there are no units) Molar heat capacity of iron = 0.15*1 cal/(g*C)*55.85 g /gmole = 8.378 cal/(gmole*C)
What is the specific capacity of water?
At 20°C the specific heat capacity of water is 4.183 J/g °C or 4.183 J/gK.
