Summer is a great time to visit Sedona because the weather is warm but not nearly as hot as the infamous triple-digit days typical for Phoenix, Scottsdale and the rest of the Valley of the Sun. In fact, summer is the season for Valley residents to escape to Sedona and find relief in the 90-degree weather!
Based on the Aly and Lee model, the variation of the ideal gas heat capacity at constant pressure of several hydrocarbons (methane through pentanes) and non-hydrocarbons (O2, N2, H2, CO2 and H2O) as a function of temperature are presented in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
Cp = specific heat capacity (J/g ÂºC) One thing about specific heats that you should probably remember for the SAT II Chemistry test is that the specific heat of liquid water is 4.184 J/g ÂºC (or 1.00 cal/g ÂºC), which is unusually high (this is due to hydrogen bonding).
