1.8 Specific Heat Capacity Flashcards
1
Q
What does it mean if a substance has a large specific heat capacity?
A
It requires more energy for each degree temperature change
2
Q
What is the equation for specific heat capacity?
A
E = m x c x 0
Where E is the energy transferred in joules m is the mass in kg c is the specific heat capacity in J/kg*c 0 is the temperature change in *c
3
Q
The greater the mass being heated, the more energy is required
A
1kg by 1c = 1 sch
2kg by 1c = 2 sch
1kg by 2c = 2 sch
2kg by 2c = 4 sch
Etc
4
Q
What is specific heat capacity?
A
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance by 1*c
