Mean Specific Heats of Various Solids

Mean Specific Heats of Various Solids (32 – 212 °F, 273 – 373 K)

Specific heat is a measure of how much heat a substance can absorb or release without changing its temperature significantly.

c = 1 M d Q d T

dQ = amount of heat needed to uniformly raise the temperature of the sample by a small increment dT
