Which measurement describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius?

the term is known as specific heat of that substance


Are liquid good insulators of heat?

It will depend on the specific heat, and conductivity of the material in question. energy does not care what state a matter is in. in general, no, liquids allow the molecules to move about, and will transfer the heat more quickly than a solid, however, consider aluminum, though a solid, it transfers heat quickly, while some liquids might be slower. As I said, depends on conductivity an specific heat.


How are heat and specific heat related?

heat does not effect specific heat. for example if water has a high specific heat, a change in heat wont effect its specific heat.P.S if you don't like my answer, please improve it.I like people who are honest.Heat is a form of energy. Heat either changes the state of matter from solid to liquid to gas OR it changes the temperature.Specific heat (also called specific heat capacity) is the amount of heat that a substance (like water) absorbs when exactly one gram of that substance is heated so that its temperature increases by one degree Celsius. The specific heat relates three quantities: the heat applied, the temperature change, and the mass of the object.An amount of heat may be 100 calories.The specific heat capacity allows us to calculate the temperature change for a quantity of a substance to which that heat is applied.Since the specific heat of water is 1 calorie per gram degree Celsius if 100 calories is applied to 50 grams of water then the temperature only changes 2 degrees Celsius.


When you heat a substance how can you tell it has undergone a phase change?

Specific heat is used to identify substances. It is the amount of heat that is needed to raise a sample unit by one degree Celsius and is unique to each element, and therefore, unique to each compound.


Is less energy needed for objects with high specific heat capacity?

More specific heat means you need more heat energy to, for example, raise one kilogram of a substance by one degree centigrade.

If you heat a solid dose it melt or stay the same?

The change of a solid to a liquid (melting) depends on the solid and the amount of heat applied. If you apply enough heat to or above the melting point for that specific matter, it will melt or in rarer cases, sublimate
