What is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?? |
| Answer» \tSpecific heat capacityHeat capacitySpecific heat, Csp, is the amount of heat required to change the heat content of exactly 1 gram of a material by exactly 1°CThe heat capacity of a substance can be defined as the amount of heat required to change its temperature by one degreeThe formula of specific heat capacity is given byQ = C m ?t whereQ is the quantity of heat absorbed by a body, m is mass of the body, ?t is the rise in temperature andC is the specific heat capacity of a substance depending on the nature of the material of the substance.The formula for heat capacity is given byQ=CΔTWhere Q is the heat energy required to bring about a temperature change of ΔT and C is the heat capacity of the system under study.\t | |
