What is it you want to find out about specific heat of Copper lead and Aluminum?
Let's first understand the concept of specific heat
The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g or unit quantity of the substance by 1 °C or unit change in temperature. So specific heat capacity of a substance does not depend upon the mass or quantity of the substance, it is a calculation based on the unit quantity of the substance.
If in a heat transfer process, the temperature of the substance is raised by 1 K for 1 g quantity then the unit of specific heat capacity is J/(g K) and if the temperature is raised by 1 K for 1 kg quantity then the unit of specific heat capacity becomes J/(kg K).
