Specific heat Flashcards
1
Q
Specific heat
A
the amount of heat eenrgy(cal or J) needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 C
Specific heat= heat/ mass x change in temperature
- the larger the specific heat, the less its temperature will change when its absorbs a particular amount of heat energy
