Question

Define the term specific heat capacity and thermal capacity of a substance​

Answer 1

Answer:

specific heat capacity:: the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity,(symbol Cp) of a substance is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the mass of the sample. Informally, it is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Specific heat capacity :

》The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of that substance through 1°C ( or 1 Kelvin ).

》 It is denoted by c .

》$Specific\ Heat\ Capacity\ c = {\dfrac{Heat\ capacity\ of\ a\ body\ C'}{Mass\ of\ the\ body\ m}}$

》The S.I unit of specific heat capacity is kilogram per kelvin. $(J\ Kg^ -1\ K^ -1)$

.

.

Thermal heat capacity :

》The heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat energy required to raise its temperature by 1 °C ( or 1 Kelvin ).

》It is denoted by C' .

》$Heat\ Capacity\ C' = {\dfrac{amount\ of\ heat\ energy\ supplied}{rise\ in\ temperature}}$

》The S.I unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin. $(J\ K^ -1)$
