The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the substance to 1 degree greater than that of the initial temperature of the body!
yes metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities
It is the Specific Heat Capacity.
A common substance with a high specific heat is water. There are a few substances that have a higher heat capacity than water, though, such as lithium and ammonia.
The answer is that the specific heat is unusually high. This means that you have to supply more heat than for most substances in order to raise the temperature by each degree C.
If the substance is water, this is the kilocalorie (1000 calories). One calorie is the heat to raise one gram of water by 1 deg C. Other substances don't have the same specific heat capacity as water, so you have to correct for that, first find out the heat capacity (specific heat) for the substance you are dealing with.
yes metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities
A substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.
its specific heat capacity
High (novanet)
It is the Specific Heat Capacity.
Of those two substances, water has.
more because high specific heat is based on the substances hydrogen bonding
A substance with a high specific heat capacity is one that needs a lot of heat energy pumped into it in order to raise its temperature. Substances with relatively high specific heat capacities include water, rock, and potatoes.
