Material (c J/g·°C)
ΔT (°C)
Specific heat capacity (c) is the energy required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1°C. Water's unusually high specific heat (4.184 J/g°C) is why oceans moderate Earth's climate.
💡
Tip: In cooking, dense materials like cast iron hold heat longer (large mc product) while thin aluminium pans heat and cool rapidly.

Fun Fact
Water has the highest specific heat of any common liquid, making it the best coolant and responsible for coastal climates being milder than inland areas.
