Question

difference between the specific heat capacity of a body and melting point of a body​

Answer 1

Explanation:

specific heat capacity of a body can vary but melting point remains the same.

Answer 2

The difference between specific heat capacity and the melting point of a body is as follows :

Specific heat capacity

• It is the heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree.
• It is an intensive property.
• Specific heat capacity = Energy required / (mass x change in temperature)
• Its S.I unit is  $JKg^{-1} K^{-1}$
• It is a quantity that has to be derived.

Melting point

• The temperature at which solid changes to its liquid state at atmospheric pressure.
• It is an intensive property.
• It is not related to the vapor pressure of the substance.
• Purity determination and identification of compound is on the basis of its melting point.
