Question

Give a mathematical relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity.

Answer 1

1. Heat capacity $C^{\text{'}}=\frac{∆Q}{∆T}$ where $∆Q$ is the heat absorbed or rejected by the body, $∆T$ is the change in temperature
2. Specific heat capacity $C=\frac{1}{m}\frac{∆Q}{∆T}$ where m is mass
3. Thus the relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity is: $C^{\text{'}}=m\times C$
