heat capacity materials table. General The ability of a material to absorb heat. • Quantitative Two ways to measure heat capacity C p Selected values from Table 19.1, Callister 6e. Heat Either you have a periodic table that features the specific heat capacity of elements in their standard state at STP (standard temperature and pressure), in which 2. Is there any substance with bigger volumetric heat capacity than water According to this table water has the biggest known VHC. But I can t believe that in the 21. century we have no special material with larger VHC. heat Specific Heat Capacity Table.
