Generally, you can find the heat capacity for an element by placing a small amount of the element in a beaker of boiling water. Then you allow the element to sit in the water until it becomes the same temperature of the water.

What advantage does the high specific heat capacity of water have for terrestrial organisms?
Water is able to absorb a lot of energy before it begins to heat, which means that the oceans are fairly stable in temperature. This has led to development of life in the waters. Additionally, this means that surface water is stable and available for consumption.
What is the term for the capacity of an animal to adjust to their natural environment?
heredity capacity or genetic capacity or physiological capacity
What is the carrying capacity of goat?
An elephant can grow to be 14,000 pounds. It can carry quite a bit. They are known to move big logs and their carry capacity averages a few hundred pounds.
What element is black bird?
A balck bird is not an element. No living thing is an element.
What is the capacity of a standard hand shovel in cu inches?
The capacity of a standard hand shovel is approximately 30 cubic inches. The capacity varies as to the type of material measured.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
What is the speciic heat capacity of KNO3?
What is the specific heat capacity of kno3
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
What is the specific heat capacity in kJkgk of sodium sulphate?
heat capacity of sodiumsulphate
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
What is another way to say heat capacity?
Another way to say heat capacity is thermal capacity.
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 heat capacity of xylose?
The heat capacity of xylose is 281 Jmol-1K-1.
Is the heat capacity of water a physical or chemical property?
Heat capacity is a physical property.
