Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass. So it depends on the exact alloy composity of your penny, and not on its size.
In a typical US post-1962 penny, the specific heat capacity is about .39 kJ/kgK
In a US penny from 1864-1962, the specific heat capacity would be a little less than this. The same was true from 1837-1857.
From 1793-1837, the specific heat capacity was about .39 kJ/kgK.
What else can I help you with?
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
What is used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance?
The equation for specific heat is: C = q/temp. change x mass. C is a substance's specific heat, which is a constant for every substance. q is its heat capacity in joules, temp. change is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius, and mass is in grams.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Is the specific heat capacity of a slurry the mass weighted average of the solid and liquid component heat capacities?
According to the report(see related link) it is proposed that the heat capacity of a slurry is actually calculated the way you proposed it.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What is the speciic heat capacity of KNO3?
What is the specific heat capacity of kno3
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
Heat capacity is the total amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a given amount, while specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity is a property intrinsic to the substance, while heat capacity depends on the amount of the substance present. The heat capacity of a substance is the product of its specific heat capacity and its mass.
What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity?
A calorimeter is commonly used to calculate specific heat capacity. This device measures the heat transfer in a system when a material undergoes a temperature change, allowing for the determination of specific heat capacity.
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Does aluminium have as high a specific heat capacity as iron?
No, aluminum has a lower specific heat capacity than iron. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is about 0.90 J/g°C, while iron has a specific heat capacity of about 0.45 J/g°C.
What is the specific heat capacity in kJkgk of sodium sulphate?
heat capacity of sodiumsulphate
What is the specific heat capacity of tar?
The specific heat capacity of tar is approximately 2 J/g°C.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
How do you measure molar heat capacity?
Specific heat is the heat capacity divided by the heat capacity of water, which makes it dimensionless. To obtain molar heat capacity from specific heat for a material of interest, simply multiply the specific heat by the heat capacity of water per gram [1 cal/(g*C)]and multiply by the molecular weight of the substance of interest. For example, to obtain the molar heat capacity of iron Specific heat of iron = 0.15 (note there are no units) Molar heat capacity of iron = 0.15*1 cal/(g*C)*55.85 g /gmole = 8.378 cal/(gmole*C)
