The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass of a required to raise the temperature to raise the temperature of the mass by one degree Celsius. For example the specific heat (usually water) is One calorie/gram or °C= 4.186 calories/gram °C or 4.186 joules/gram K, water has a very high specific heat compared to most common substances. The specific heat of copper is only 0.093 calories/gram °C.

| Aluminum | 0.9 | 0.215 |
| Bismuth | 0.123 | 0.0294 |
| Copper | 0.386 | 0.0923 |
| Brass | 0.38 | 0.092 |
| Gold | 0.126 | 0.0301 |
| Lead | 0.128 | 0.0305 |
| Silver | 0.233 | 0.0558 |
| Tungsten | 0.134 | 0.0321 |
| Zinc | 0.387 | 0.0925 |
| Mercury | 0.14 | 0.033 |
| Alcohol | 2.4 | 0.58 |
| Water | 4.186 | 1 |
| Ice (-10 °C) | 2.05 | 0.49 |
| Granite | 0.79 | 0.19 |
