Specific heat capacity or simply specific heat (S) and be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a body of mass 1 kg by 1 degree Celsius . S=J/Kg oc
Whereas, heat capacity or heat added simply (may be Q) is the ratio of heat absorbed by the body of 1 kg mass by 1 degree celsius. Q=SMθ
N.B. M= Mass, θ = oC (rise in temperature.

∙ 13y agoHeat capacity is the ratio of heat absorbed by a material to the change in temperature.
It is usually expressed as calories per degree in terms of the amount of the material being considered. Heat capacity and its temperature variation depend on differences in energy levels for atoms. Heat capacities are measured with a calorimeter and are important as a means of determining the entropies of materials.
Whereas,
specific heat is the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a body one degree to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water one degree.The term is also used to mean the amount of heat, in calories, required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree.
I don't know why Dingobot flag this answer.

∙ 11y agoSpecific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Kelvin.
Eg. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 joules per gram. So you need to transfer 4.18 joules of energy to one gram of water in order to raise it by one degree K
Temperature on the other hand is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is specific heat capacity?
specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the QUANITY OF HEAT REQUIRED to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of the substance through 1K ( kelvin ) .however it obtained the unit of J/kg/kThe specific heat capacity is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1 degree Celsius._____________________Apex: The energy needed to change the temperature of a substance The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
What is the difference betwween heat energy and temperature?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature Heat is proportional to temperature and in not equal to temperature. Heat has joule as unit where as temperature has the unit kelvin
Factors affect heat gained or lost?
-heat capacity of the object (equal to mass times the specific heat capacity of the object) -overall change in temperature.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
Describe specific heat capacity as varying between different materials?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body per unit of mass.
Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
What is the specific heat constant of oxygen?
heat constant = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Would two different liquids stored in the fridge for the same period of time be equally cold?
No. They would lose (or absorb) the same amount of heat, but their temperatures would be different.Every liquid has a unique specific heat capacity.The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to heat unit mass (1 kg) of that substance through 1°Celsius.So, liquids with different specific heats would show different change in temperature after losing the same amount of heat.For example, a liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would require lesser heat to change it's temperature while one with a higher specific heat capacity would require more heat.Hence, since the heat lost would be the same, the liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would cool more and have a lower temperature.
How do you caluculate heat transfer?
(Mass) x (Specific Heat Capacity)*(change in temperature)
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
