Specific Heat Capacity Table
Specific heat capacity of substances in J/(kg·°C).
| Substance | c, J/(kg·°C) |
|---|---|
| Water | 4200 |
| Ethanol | 2500 |
| Ice | 2100 |
| Kerosene | 2100 |
| Air | 1000 |
| Aluminium | 920 |
| Brick | 880 |
| Glass | 840 |
| Steel | 500 |
| Iron | 460 |
| Copper | 400 |
| Zinc | 400 |
| Silver | 250 |
| Tin | 230 |
| Mercury | 140 |
| Lead | 140 |
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to warm 1 kg of a substance by 1 °C. The heat for warming is Q = c·m·Δt. The values are rounded as in school problem books.
