Yes.
Two specific heats are commonly defined: CV (constant volume specific heat and CP (constant pressure specific heat). For an ideal gas the relationship between the two can be calculated to be
CP = CV + R
The theoretical value of the specific heats for ideal gases can be estimated from the degrees of freedom of the gas - which in turn depends on it's structure. Monatomic gases really can only absorb energy by increasing their translational energy or boosting the electrons to higher orbitals. Diatomic gases add a degree of freedom for vibration and another for rotation (although diatomic molecules usually can store only and insignificant amount of energy in their rotations. Polyatomic molecules with more than two atoms have even greater degrees of freedom because they pick up vibrational modes for the additional molecular bonds and more rotational modes.

How does the temperatures increases of different materials depend on their specific heats?
The specific heat capacity of a material determines how much energy is needed to heat up a certain mass of the material by a certain amount. Materials with higher specific heats require more energy to raise their temperature compared to materials with lower specific heats. Therefore, materials with higher specific heats will have slower temperature increases when heated compared to materials with lower specific heats.
Is specific heat a periodic trend?
No, specific heat is not a periodic trend. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius, and it varies widely among different elements and compounds without following a repeating pattern across the periodic table.
What is one substance that heats more slowly than others?
The one substance that heats more slowly than others is water. Water can exist in the various forms of matter which are gases, liquids and solids.
What information can be found in the ratio of specific heats table?
The ratio of specific heats table provides information about the ratio of the specific heat capacities of different substances. This ratio is important in understanding how substances respond to changes in temperature and energy.
What happens to gases when heated?
When a noble gas is heated, its molecules move faster (this is the same as saying that the gas heats up).
Does a substance that heats up have a high or a low specific heat capacity?
A substance that heats up quickly has a low specific heat capacity, while a substance that heats up slowly has a high specific heat capacity. This is because substances with high specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to substances with low specific heat capacities.
The cloud of gases around a solid portion of a comet is called?
Its called the 'Coma'. Its is both the dust that the solar wind blows off the comet as well as gases expelled as the comet heats up.
What substance is used as the standard against which we meassure specific heats?
Water is used as the standard against which one measures specific heats. Water has a specific heat of 1 Btu/lb/deg F or 1 J/g/deg C.
What is the definition of a fumarole?
These are vents through which volcanic gases and water vapour escape to the earth's surfaec.Fumaroles are formed when magma heats underground water,it mixes with volcanic gases and the mixture is eventually released as steam.
What substance is used at the standard against which you measure specific heats?
water (H20)
Compared to water most metals have low specific heats.?
true
