Heat Capacity depends on the way the heat is transferred and as such is not a table property of the matter.


The two major heat transfer processes are isobaric and isohoric which define:

Isobaric specific heat capacity

Isochoric specific heat capacity

 proportional to the amount of the matter involved in a Heat Transfer process and as such are not table properties of the matter.

One can calculate them as:
