Investigating Heat Capacity
If you do not have the supplies to do this, look up specific heat.
1) What is it?
2) Find the specific values for at least 25 different materials.
https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-capacity-d_391.html 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat_capacities 
A) List them in order of value
B) You should find a number of them fairly close and some that are widely dispersed
(far away) from the others.
C) Explain why the ones with similar values have those similar values (Why are they
close in value? What characteristics do those materials have in common?)
D) Explain why the ones with values that are far apart are far apart. (Why are they
far apart, what is different about those materials.
Write an 5-6 sentences that answers all of these question. Ideally your essay will be a table of
values for the 25 materials (A), followed by at least two paragraphs answering part C
and D.
Upload when done.

Part A: List of 25 materials with their specific heat capacities in order of value:

| Material | Specific Heat Capacity (J/g°C) |
| --- | --- |
| Water | 4.184 |
| Copper | 0.385 |
| Aluminum | 0.913 |
| Iron | 0.449 |
| Gold | 0.129 |
| Silver | 0.235 |
| Carbon (graphite) | 0.709 |
| Nitrogen (gas) | 1.042 |
| Oxygen (gas) | 0.918 |
| Air | 1.005 |
| Brass | 0.372 |
| Bronze | 0.353 |
| Glass (average) | 0.833 |
| Wood (average) | 2.145 |
| Plywood | 1.380 |
| Steel (average) | 0.503 |
| Rubber (natural) | 1.140 |
| Plastic (polyethylene) | 1.330 |
| Concrete | 0.880 |
| Sand | 0.560 |
| Limestone | 0.830 |
| Silicon | 0.714 |
| Titanium | 0.524 |

Part C: Materials with similar specific heat capacities (e.g., water, copper, aluminum, and iron) have similar values because they are all good conductors of heat and have a high density. These materials tend to absorb and transfer heat energy efficiently, resulting in similar specific heat capacities.

Part D: Materials with widely dispersed specific heat capacities (e.g., gold and wood) have different values due to their distinct chemical and physical properties. Gold has a low specific heat capacity due to its high atomic weight and atomic radius, making it a poor conductor of heat. Wood, on the other hand, has a high specific heat capacity due to its porous structure and high water content, which allows it to absorb and release heat energy
