What does a high specific heat tell about a substance?
A high specific heat capacity means it can hold a large amount of thermal energy in for a low mass or temperature change. It is also good at keeping in thermal energy, for example:
As you can see, because of the liquid's high S.H.C. it gained the same amount of heat energy as the object lost, with a smaller temperature change.

A high specific heat tells us that a substance can absorb or release a relatively large amount of heat energy without undergoing a significant change in temperature.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
