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 is the heat capacity of liquid propane?
It depends on the temperature and pressure.
What is the Heat capacity water?
Heat capacity is the amount of energy it takes to cause a subtance's temperature to increase. Heat capacity has units of energy/(mass*temperature), which shows that heat capacity describes how much energy it takes to raise a particular mass of a substance by a certain unit of temperature. The most common units are J/(goC), or Joules/(gram*degree Celsius). Heat capacity is constant for a substance at a constant temperature, and is usually reported for substances at 25oC. Water has an unusually high heat capacity--4.18 J/(goC). This means that to change the temperature of water requires a relatively high amount of energy.
What is the melting temperature of epoxy resin?
Specific heat capacity of epoxy resin depends on chemical structure of epoxy resin and range of temperature of measurements. Usually at 25 deg.C specific heat capacity of epoxy resins is 0.8-1.2 kJ/(kg*K). The specific capacity is growing with temperature, roughly increasing 1.5 times by 100 deg.C.
What property of a substance does its specific heat capacity describe?
How much heat it takes to raise the temperature
Why the experimental value of specific heat capacity is higher than the standars value?
Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.
can you Compare the experimental value obtained for the specific heat capacity with the theoretical value?
Yes.
When heat flows out of an object and its temperature decreases the change in temperature is?
heat capacity
What is the resistance to temperature change?
Heat Capacity
Does buffer capacity change with temperature?
Yes
How is heating related to a substance's temperature?
As an object is heated, the rate of increase in temperature is proportional to the rate of heat added. The proportionality is called the heat capacity. Because the heat capacity is actually a function of temperature in real materials, the total amount of energy added will be equal to the integral of the heat capacity function over the interval from the initial temperature to the final temperature. If you just assume an average heat capacity over the temperature range, then the rise in temperature will be exactly proportional to the amount of heat added.

What determines the water vapor capacity of air?
temperature
How resistance varies with the change in temperature?
Heat Capacity
Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity

As air temperature increases what does too?
