Specific Heat Capacity

What is the formula for calculating specific heat capacity?

• Q = mcΔT

• Q = m/cΔT

• Q = mc^2ΔT

• Q = mcΔT^2

What are the units of specific heat capacity?

• N/m^2

• m/s

• J/kg°C

• kg/m^3

How does specific heat capacity differ from heat capacity?

• Specific heat capacity is only applicable to solids, while heat capacity is applicable to all states of matter.

• Specific heat capacity is measured in Kelvin, while heat capacity is measured in Celsius.

• Specific heat capacity is a scalar quantity, while heat capacity is a vector quantity.

• Specific heat capacity is per unit mass, while heat capacity is for the entire substance.

Give an example of a material with a high specific heat capacity.

• Iron

• Aluminum

• Glass

• Water

Explain the significance of specific heat capacity in everyday life.

• Specific heat capacity is only used in theoretical calculations

• Specific heat capacity has no impact on daily activities

• Specific heat capacity is only relevant in scientific research

• Specific heat capacity is crucial for understanding how substances respond to changes in temperature and for various applications like cooking, climate control, and electronics.
