Question

What is meant by specific heat
capacity? How will you prove
experimentally that different
substances have different specific
heat capacities?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat Capacity = Mass of the Substances × Specific Heat capacity. We an prove that the Specific Heat capacity of the of the substances are different from each other. Equal masses of the different substances required the different amount of the heat energy to raise there temperature by the same amount.

Answer 2

Answer: Specific heat, ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a body one degree to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water one degree.

Experiment to prove different substances have different specific heat capacities: Take three balls of iron, copper and lead of equal mass and put them in boiling water for some time. This shows that for equal rise in temperature, the three balls have absorbed different amounts of heat.
