Question

The relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity of a substance?

• A. Mass of the substance = heat capacity x Specific Heat capacity
• B. Specific Heat capacity = Mass of the substance x heat capacity
• C. Heat capacity = Mass of the substance x Specific heat capacity
• D. Specific Heat capacity = Heat capacity

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Heat capacity = Mass of the substance x Specific heat capacity

Heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of any mass of substance through 1 ^oC or 1 K. Its SI unit is J K^-1.

Heat capacity = Mass of the substance x Specific heat capacity
