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).

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.
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.
How would you go about finding the specific heat of Glycerin?
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.
Write the expression and value for the specific heat of water?
The expression for specific heat is Q = mc(delta T) where Q is the heat added, c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and delta T is the change in temperature in degrees C. Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit of mass needed to raise the temperature by 1 degree C. The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gram degree C = 4.186 joule/gram degree C. Water has a higher specific heat than most common substances.
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.
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 unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
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 unit is specific latent heat measured in?
The unit for specific latent heat is J Kg-1(Joules per Kilogram)
What does specific heat indicate?
Specific heat indicates the amount of heat per unit mass. This is typically used when there is a rise in temperature by one degree Celsius.Ê
When the same quantity of heat is added per unit as does a substance having a lower specific heat warm more or less than a substance having a higher specific heat?
specific quantity
The joule per kilogram-kelvin is the SI unit for what?
specific heat.
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 are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
How do you get heat to work on a hvac unit?
need to be specific, but usually byswitching the tstat to heat and raising the temperature.
