State two differences between Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity.
Differences between Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity are:
Heat Capacity | Specific Heat Capacity |
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance by one degree is called the heat capacity of the substance. | The amount of heat required to change the heat content of exactly 1 gram of a material by exactly 1°C is called the specific heat capacity. |
It depends on the mass of the material. | It is independent of the mass of the material. |
