Yes. Specific heat is dependent on the substance, not on any other factor, so it's an identifying characteristic (as are melting point, boiling point, and density, among others).

It is one of the characteristics of a substance. But from its value alone you cannot identify the substance.

This old chestnut might possibly be a modicum more believable if it hadn't been written by someone with a severe case of Inappropriate Capitalitus.
