...raise a given mass of mercury through any interval of temperature is only one-thirtieth of the amount of heat required to raise an equal mass of water through the same interval of temperature ; or that in cooling through the same range of temperature water would evolve...

...quantity of heat required to raise a given mass of that substance through a given range of temperature to the quantity of heat required to raise an equal mass of water through the same range of temperature. Since the calorie is the quantity of heat required to raise 1 grm. of water through...

...the heat required to raise a given mass of the substance through a given range of temperature, to the heat required to raise an equal mass of water through the same range. Latent heat being the quantity of heat required to convert unit mass of the substance from one...

...temperature is the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the body one degree to the quantity of heat required to raise an equal mass of "Water at or near to its temperature of maximum, density (4°C. or 39.1°F.) through one degree. Specific...

...Fahrenheit. 12. Thermal Capacity per Unit Mass and Specific Heat. The ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass...gram calorie — is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through 1 degree centigrade, it follows that the quantity...

...temperature is the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the body one degree, to the quantity of heat required to raise an equal mass of water at or near its temperature of maximum density, through one degree. The specific heat of copper at 50°...

...temperature interval, and the number of calories required to raise the same weight of the standard substance through the same temperature interval is called the "specific heat" of the substance. Water is always the standard substance, and so the specific heat of a substance is the number of calories...

...temperature interval and the number of calories required to raise the same weight of the standard substance through the same temperature interval is called the specific heat of the substance." The specific heat of a substance depends on its chemical nature and physical state. Water is usually...

...is the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance to the quantity of heat required to raise an equal mass of water through the same temperatures. To clarify the relationship between heat transference by a practical example, assume...

...temperature interval, and the number of calories required to raise the same weight of the standard substance through the same temperature interval is called the "specific heat" of the substance. Water is always the standard substance and so the specific heat of a substance is the number of calories...
