Heat capacicity of steel: 460 J/kg.K
0.460 J/g.K
1000 g of water
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Steel has a heat capacity of about 0.49 kJ/kg/°C. Solid plastics have a heat capacity of about 1.67 kJ/kg/°C. It thus takes more energy to warm plastic 1 °C than to warm steel 1 °C. As to why steel has a higher heat capacity than plastic... It may be because plastics have more ability to absorb energy into the vibrational modes of the atoms in the long polymer chains than steel does in its fairly fixed crystaline/metal structure.
One with a high heat capacity
heat capacity= specific heat x mass molar heat capacity = specific heat x molar mass - Hope this helps!!
determination of specific heat capacity of liquid by method of electrical heating
1000 g of water
the spesific heat capacity of a liquid by the mithod of cooling
420 JKg-1C-1
.49 kJ/kg-K
It depends on the temperature and pressure.
No, water is the record holder.

q( enthalpy of heat in Joules-energy ) = Mass of steel * heat capacity of steel * ( Temperature final - temperature initial )
