any of several units of heat defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius (1Â°C) at a specified temperature. The calorie used in chemistry and biochemistry is equal to 4.184 joules.
Introduction: The amount of heat energy that is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity, or simply the specific heat, of that substance. Water, for instance, has a specific heat of 1.0 cal / g â¢ C o. Remember that the heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the metal, calculate the specific heat of the metal. 2  This is simply rearranging formula (3) from the introduction to solve for the specific heat of the metal, and plugging-in your data.
