What is the unit measure for specific heat?

Answer 1

specific heat is in the units Joules/(gram x oC)

Answer

The correct term is 'specific heat capacity', and it is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin (J/kg.K)

Answer 2

I assume you are talking about heating, melting and boiling substances.

Specific heat is measured in units of Calories per Gram - degree Celsius (cal/g-C) for solids not at their melting point and for liquids not at their boiling point. For example, 1 gram of water takes about 1 calorie of heat to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius. It would take 10 calories to increase the temperature of liquid water from 50 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

Calories per gram (cal/g) or calories per mole (cal/mole) are the other units, and these are used at the constant temperatures found at melting points and boiling points. For example, 1 gram of ice takes about 80 calories to melt to water at the constant temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Likewise, and 1 gram of water takes about 600 calories to boil it to steam at 100 degrees Celsius.

Answer 3

The correct answer is J/g-K or J/g-CK stands for Kelvin and C stands for Celsius

Answer 4

The Specific Heat Capacity of water is 4,184 Joules per kg per Kelvin

Answer 5

The SI derived unit for specific heat is Joules kilogram-1 Kelvin-1 OR simply J kg-1 K-1.

Answer 6

The unit for specific heat is Joules/g-Kelvin or it can be Joules/g-Celsius

J= Joules

g= Grams

C= Celsius

Answer 7

Specific heat is typically measured in units of joules per gram degree Celsius (J/g°C) or kilojoules per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/kg°C).
