The specific heat of any substance can be found by calculating the amount of heat required to raise a unit mass quantity of it by 1 degree. The relationship between heat and temperature change is Q=cm(change in T) where Q is heat in Joules, c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and T is the temperature.

The ocean has a high specific heat what would happen if the ocean had a low specific heat?
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
Which of the following would be the best material to use for making tea kettles A copper specific heat 380 B iron specific heat 450 C graphite specific heat 710 D aluminum specific heat 920?

Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
If a substance has a specific heat less than one would it take more or less heat to raise the temperature?
The higher the substance's specific heat capacity, the more heat energy is needed to raise it's temperature.

Is tannic acid and glycerin soluble in camphor solution?
It is! You just have to heat the glycerin!
Water has a relatively low specific heat?
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
What is the formula in finding the amount of heat transfered to an object?
The formula for finding the amount of heat transferred to an object is Q = mc(change in T). Q represents heat energy in J, m is the mass of the object in kg, and c is the specific heat of the material.
The ocean has a high specific heat what would happen if the ocean had a low specific heat?
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
What would be a good sentence for specific heat?
To be effective, this welding rod must be brought to a specific heat.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
Would two different liquids stored in the fridge for the same period of time be equally cold?
No. They would lose (or absorb) the same amount of heat, but their temperatures would be different.Every liquid has a unique specific heat capacity.The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to heat unit mass (1 kg) of that substance through 1°Celsius.So, liquids with different specific heats would show different change in temperature after losing the same amount of heat.For example, a liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would require lesser heat to change it's temperature while one with a higher specific heat capacity would require more heat.Hence, since the heat lost would be the same, the liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would cool more and have a lower temperature.

How do you solve a problem finding the heat that is required to melt ice?
You would start by looking up the specific heat of fusion for ice. Then you multiply that by the amount of ice you're trying to melt (you may have to do some unit conversion to get your specific heat and ice mass in compatible units). That will give you the amount of heat required, and again you may need to do a unit conversion to get it in the units you want.
Why you prefer molar specific heat as compared to the simple specific heat?
In chemistry instead mass in kg it would be nice to deal the quantity in moles. Hence molar specific heat is best fit.
Does a substance that cools up quickly have high or low specific heat capacity?
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
How are specific heat of water and ice the same?
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
