Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What unit of measure is used to measure earth's heat?
Use temperature measurements to measure heat (i.e. Fahrenheit and Celcius)
The condition of warming measure by rising degrees is?
Heat
What is the specific heat of copper at STP?
what is the specific heat for copper
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
is there a scale used to measure the intensity of heat wave
How do you measure specific heat?
With a thermometer.
What can specific heat be used to measure change in?
Specific heat can be used to measure changes in thermal energy by using the equation: Change in thermal energy = mass x Change in temperature x specific heat
How do you measure specific heat at home?
use a thermometer and measure lol
How are specific heat of water and ice the same?
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
What is the unit of measure for specific heat?
it is in joules. 03o
Is the unit of measure for specific heat?
it is in joules. 03o
What is the specific heat a measure of?
Specific heat means, how much heat is required to heat a certain mass of something by 1 degree K. For example the specific heat of water is 1 cal/(g*K) (4.184 J/(g*K)).
What is the measure of how much heat will raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degrees c?
The specific heat of the substance.
What is specific heat capacity and what does it measure?
Specific heat capacity(q) is the amount of heat needed to raise a tamperature of a body with mass of 1kg by 1K or 1 decree celcius. The formuale to calculate it is c(specific heat capacity) = Q/mass x change in temperature.
How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?
Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.
What substance helps measure specific heats?
Specific Heat is the energy required to raise 1 g of any specific object by 1 degree Celsius.
What is the measure of the amount of the thermal energy in a substance?
specific heat
