What is true about heat capacity and specific heat?

Only heat capacity accounts for mass.

Both heat capacity and specific heat account for mass.

Neither specific heat nor heat capacity accounts for mass.

Only specific heat accounts for mass.

My answer is that both account for mass?

Let's see. Heat capacity is the measurable physical quantity of heat energy required to change the temperature of an object by a given amount. Specific heat capacity the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.

What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

only specific heat accounts for mass?

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup hence the name 'specific'

anonymous · Answer

cool Which of the following factors is not used in calculating the specific heat of a substance?

       mass

       temperature change

       heat required for a temperature change

      --> melting point??

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup

anonymous · Answer

awesome! The amount of heat needed to raise 250 g of a substance by 15 K is 2,930 J. What is the specific heat of the substance ?

       0.78

       11,000

   -->    780  ?

       1.1 × 10^7

wolfe8 · Answer

Looks like it.

roadjester · Answer

$$\huge Q=mc\Delta T$$

anonymous · Answer

ohh I used the specific heat capacity equation :/

wolfe8 · Answer

You are supposed to.

anonymous · Answer

they've given me specific heat capacity and specific heat alone

anonymous · Answer

either way its 780 though? because both equations got me 780 approximately

wolfe8 · Answer

How can you get the same? Specific heat capacity=2930/(15*0.25)
Heat capacity=2930/15

If 50 g of liquid water [C = 4,180 J/(kgK)] changes temperature in a calorimeter from 298 K to 348 K, then how much heat is transferred?

     -->  10.5 J  ?

       10.5 kJ

       72.7 J

       100 kJ

wolfe8 · Answer

You said 3 questions. Is this a test? Either way, you should be able to do them from here

anonymous · Answer

specific heat capacity is C=q/ m delta T
specific heat  q=mCdeltaT

anonymous · Answer

no this isn't a test its just a review sheet for the test I have tomorrow

anonymous · Answer

I meant 4 sorry and well I'm stuck on 4

anonymous · Answer

can you help me with question4?

     -->  10.5 J  ?

       10.5 kJ

       72.7 J

       100 kJ

anonymous · Answer

or 10.5 kJ?

nincompoop · Answer

heat capacity = Q = mc(T2-T1)

nincompoop · Answer

measure everything in kg
