Substances with high specific heat capacities require more energy to heat up a unit mass by 1 degree Celsius. Water has one of the highest specific heat capacities of common substances, meaning it requires a significant amount of energy to raise its temperature. Metals like lead and Mercury, on the other hand, have lower specific heat capacities and require less energy to heat up.
What else can I help you with?
Why do different substances require different amount of heat energy during melting?
The amount of heat energy needed to melt a substance depends on its molecular structure and the strength of the intermolecular forces holding its particles together. Substances with stronger intermolecular forces require more heat energy to overcome these forces and change from a solid to a liquid state. Conversely, substances with weaker intermolecular forces require less heat energy to achieve the same phase change.
What effect does the specific heat have on cooling?
The specific heat of a substance affects the amount of thermal energy required to cool it. Substances with higher specific heat values require more energy to cool down compared to substances with lower specific heat values. This means that substances with higher specific heat values will cool down more slowly than substances with lower specific heat values.
What substances that heat and cool quickly have a high or low specific heat?
A substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.
Is heat energy gained by liquid equal to the heat energy lost by metal?
Not necessarily. The heat energy gained by the liquid and lost by the metal can be different because different materials have different specific heat capacities, meaning they require different amounts of energy to change temperature.
Will things that heat quickly have a low or high specific heat?
Things that heat quickly typically have a low specific heat capacity, as they require less energy to raise their temperature compared to substances with a higher specific heat capacity.

What is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of a substances 1 c?
It will need to state what substance to be heated. Water had heat capacity of 4.18 kJ/kg.C and require 4.18 kJ of energy to heat up. Air had approximately 1.12 kJ/kg.C of heat capacity and require 1.12 kJ of energy to heat 1 kg of air up 1 C.
What is the relationship between the heat of combustion and the stability of a substance?
The heat of combustion is a measure of how much energy is released when a substance burns. Generally, substances with higher heat of combustion are more stable because they require more energy to break their bonds and ignite.
Will things that heat quickly have a low or high specific heat?
Things that heat quickly typically have a low specific heat capacity, as they require less energy to raise their temperature compared to substances with a higher specific heat capacity.
Does vaporization require loss of heat energy?
No, but instead it gains heat energy
When most substances absorb heat energy they?
expand
When you to this to any substances the particles gain energy?
heat
How is the state of matter related to the amount of energy in a substances?
Energy creates heat
Why same amount of heat supplied to same amount of different substances does not produce the same increase in temperature?
There is a formula in physics ΔQ=m*c*ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance you are heating, ΔQ is the heat you supply to the substance, c is the specific heat which has a different value for different substances and ΔT is the change in temperature. If your substances are different and they have the same mass then by supplying the same amount of heat the change in temperature will be different.
