Specific Heat Capacity Calculator

Specific Heat Capacity, often denoted as , is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It quantifies the ability of a material to store thermal energy. The SI unit of Specific Heat Capacity is Joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/(kg·K)). The formula for Specific Heat Capacity () is given by: 

Where:

  • is the Specific Heat Capacity,
  • is the heat energy transferred, 
  • is the mass of the substance,
  • is the change in temperature.
