Question

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

Answer 1

Specific Heat Capacity means it is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance of a unit mass by 1 degree Celsius or Kelvin.

Specific Heat Capacity = Heat absorbed by body / ( Unit mass of body ×Rise in temperature)

Rise in temperature is 1

Specific heat capacity = Heat Absorbed /Mass

Since, Each elemets have different masses due to protons and neutrons.Therefore,each substance have different specific heat capacity.

Hope, it may help.
