Question

what is difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity

Answer 1

Heat capacity ia heat required to raise​ the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Specific heat is heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity is as follows :-

• The heat capacity and specific heat capacity are very different.

• Heat capacity depends upon the mass of a substance but specific heat capacity doesn't depend upon the mass.

• Heat capacity is not a fixed quantity but specific heat capacity is a fixed quantity.

• The heat capacity increases with the increase in mass of the material,whereas there would be no change in the value of specific heat.
