Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

Mass of the vessel = 100 kg

Heat capacity = 8000 J/℃

We know, that the  

Heat Capacity:

It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1-degree celsius. Heat capacity is expressed in terms of Joules/℃ or Calorie/℃.

Specific heat capacity:

It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1-degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity is expressed in terms of Joules/kg/℃ or Calorie/kg/℃.

Thus,  

The specific heat capacity of the vessel will be,

= [8000 J/℃]  / [100 kg]

= 80 J/kg/℃
