Specific Heat Capacity Calculator

Calculate Specific Heat Capacity







Formula

The formula to calculate Specific Heat Capacity (c) is:

\[ c = \frac{Q}{M \cdot ΔTrise} \]

Where:

Definition

Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.

Heat Energy is the amount of total heat required.

Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.

Rise in Temperature is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.

How to calculate Specific Heat Capacity

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ c = \frac{Q}{M \cdot ΔTrise} \]

Evaluating:

\[ c = \frac{4200}{0.03545 \cdot 16} \]

The Specific Heat Capacity is 7404.79548660085 Joule per Kilogram per K.
