Specific Heat Capacity Flashcards
1
Q
What is sepcific heat capacity
A
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of material by 1 c
2
Q
What is the equation for heat energy
A
E = m x c x t
Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temp
3
Q
What is the equation for specific heat capacity
A
C = E / m x t
C = change in heat energy / mass x change in temp
4
Q
What is the equation for heat energy
A
E = m x c x T
Change in heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temp
