differentiate bt. heat capacity and specific heat capcity?(plz answer in simple language)

Answer»

Heat capacityia heat required to raise​ the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

Specific heatis heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

On the other hand heat capacitydepends on mass of the substance. If I have 5kg of that substance then heat capacity will be 5KJ/Kg, if I have 10kg then heat capacity becomes 10KJ/kg . Because more the mass, more it will take to raise the temperature by 1 degree Celsius.

thank you
