User Guide
Use this calculator to determine the specific heat capacity of a substance cₘ = C/m in joules per kilogram per kelvin (J/kg·K), joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg·°C), joules per gram per kelvin (J/g·K), joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g·°C), kilojoules per kilogram per kelvin (kJ/kg·K), kilojoules per kilogram per degree Celsius (kJ/kg·°C), british thermal units per pound per degree Fahrenheit (Btu ISO/lb·°F), british thermal units per pound per degree Rankine (Btu ISO/lb·°R), calories per gram per degree Celsius (cal/g·°C) or kilocalories per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal/kg·°C) units, from its heat capacity and total mass.
Formula
The formula used by this calculator to determine the specific heat capacity from the heat capacity and total mass is:
cm = C / m
Symbols
- cm = Specific heat capacity
- C = Heat capacity
- m = total mass
Heat Capacity (C)
This is the amount of thermal energy required to raise a substance or material by one unit of temperature.
Total Mass (m)
This is the total mass of the substance.
Specific Heat Capacity (cm)
This is the amount of heat required to raise a substance or material by one unit of mass and one unit of temperature.
