Internal energy and Specific heat Capacity Flashcards
1
Q
What is the specific heat capacity of a substance
A
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of that substance by 1°C.
2
Q
the equation for specific heat capacity
A
E = mcΔθ
l energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
