Specific Heat Calculator

Calculate specific heat capacity from heat transfer, mass, and temperature change

Formula Used

c = Q / (m × ΔT)

Where: c = specific heat, Q = heat, m = mass, ΔT = temperature change

Common Specific Heats (J/kg·°C):

Water: 4186, Ice: 2090, Aluminum: 900, Copper: 385, Iron: 450
