Temperature Change Calculator

How to Use the Temperature Change Calculator

The Temperature Change Calculator helps you quickly and accurately calculate the heat energy required to change the temperature of a substance. With options to input either mass or volume, this calculator is designed to be versatile and user-friendly. Simply:

1. Select your input type: mass (kg) or volume (L).
2. Choose a substance from the dropdown menu, or manually input its specific heat capacity if not listed.
3. Enter the desired temperature increase in degrees Celsius.
4. Click Calculate Heat Energy to instantly see the required energy and calculation steps.

This tool uses the formula Q = mcΔT (where Q is heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change). This calculation is valuable in fields such as thermodynamics, engineering, and everyday energy management, making it easy to find the energy needed to increase temperature for various materials.

Specific Heat Capacities of Common Substances

Below is a list of common substances and their specific heat capacities (Cp) in J/kg°C. Choose any of these in the calculator for easy heat energy calculation:
