Understanding Specific Heat: Its Role In Thermal Energy Transfer And Material Properties
Specific heat, measured in J/g°C, quantifies the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Silver, known for its malleability and ductility, has a specific heat of approximately 0.235 J/g°C. This value indicates that a relatively large amount of heat energy is required to…
