What is the specific heat for the lead pellets?

J/gºC

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to the raise the temperature of a unit mass of substance by 1°C.

This physical quantity is usually determined in the laboratory. It is an intensive property of substances and a constant for pure samples of material.
