∙ 11y agoI assume you are talking about heating, melting and boiling substances.
Specific heat is measured in units of Calories per Gram - degree Celsius (cal/g-C) for solids not at their melting point and for liquids not at their boiling point. For example, 1 gram of water takes about 1 calorie of heat to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius. It would take 10 calories to increase the temperature of liquid water from 50 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.
Calories per gram (cal/g) or calories per mole (cal/mole) are the other units, and these are used at the constant temperatures found at melting points and boiling points. For example, 1 gram of ice takes about 80 calories to melt to water at the constant temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Likewise, and 1 gram of water takes about 600 calories to boil it to steam at 100 degrees Celsius.

How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?
Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.
Correct units to determine specific heat?
Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. It is measured by joules.
What is a valid unit for specific heat?
Joule/kilogram-kelvin The SI unit is joules / kelvin. This is valid for an object of any size, but if you want the typical specific heat for a certain type of material, you have to standardize it, resulting in either joules / (kelvin x kilogram) or joules / (kelvin x mole).
How can you use therm in a sentence?
Symbol of therm is thm.Therm is a former British unit for heat.Therm is not used today to measure heat and energy.
What is specific heat of measure of?
The amount of energy it takes to change the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. How much energy it takes to heat a substance ~APEX
What is the unit of measure for specific heat?
it is in joules. 03o
Is the unit of measure for specific heat?
it is in joules. 03o

What variable represent specific heat?
The unit for the specific heat capacity is J/kg.K.
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 most common unit used to measure heat?
there is a device called a hydrometer that measures humidity. theres a unit to measure heat called a calorie. those are two to measure it!
What is the unit of heat measure?
Joules(J).
What unit of measure is used to measure earth's heat?
Use temperature measurements to measure heat (i.e. Fahrenheit and Celcius)
How do you measure specific heat?
With a thermometer.
What can specific heat be used to measure change in?
Specific heat can be used to measure changes in thermal energy by using the equation: Change in thermal energy = mass x Change in temperature x specific heat
How do you measure specific heat at home?
use a thermometer and measure lol
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.
