How is the specific heat of a mixture calculated at different temperatures?

How is the specific heat of a mixture calculated at different temperatures? For example, I know the specific heat at 500°C as A, and the specific heat at 100°C as B. I can use (A-B)/(500-400) to find the average decrease in specific heat per degree. Then, to find the value for any desired temperature, I can multiply that temperature by the change in specific heat and subtract it from the known specific heat. Is this acceptable? Or is there some specific formula for doing this calculation?
If not calculated strictly, it can be done this way. Just as the average temperature difference is used in heat transfer calculations in place of the logarithmic temperature difference. For a precise calculation, it is necessary to consult material properties and examine the relationship between specific heat and temperature before making the conversion.
Are there any standards or criteria for such calculations?
This can be found in any textbook on physical chemistry or general chemistry; it’s just the most basic calculations
Use Moore’s law to calculate it, right?? It’s a simpler method; an analytical approach can be used for evaluation... In fact, the answer will become clear then
