19.2 Specific Heat Capacity

Question 1

Factors affecting the the temperature rise of an object

Answer 1

• mass
• magnitude of energy supplied
• the substance that the object is made from

Question 2

Define SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

Answer 2

The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of substance by 1K (or 1 °C) without a change of state
Units; Jkg-1K-1( °C-1)
Symbol: c

Question 3

Specific Heat Capacity Equation

Answer 3

ΔQ = mcΔθ

Change in Energy Supplied = mass * SHC * change in
temperature
