Why is a great deal of heat needed to raise the temperature of water by a given amount?
because it has a great heat capacity
What is specific heat capacity and what does it measure?
Specific heat capacity(q) is the amount of heat needed to raise a tamperature of a body with mass of 1kg by 1K or 1 decree celcius. The formuale to calculate it is c(specific heat capacity) = Q/mass x change in temperature.
Does it take more energy as heat to raise the temperature of water by one degree than to raise the temperature of steam by the same amount?
Yes. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g•oC, and the specific heat capacity of steam is 2.010 J/g•oC.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
Does metal with high heat capacity raise temperature of water more than a metal with low heat capacity?
yes
Why is a great deal of heat needed to raise the temperature of water by a given amount?
because it has a great heat capacity
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is?
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree.
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.
What is the definition of specific heat capacity?
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1°C.
What is the quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance?
If the substance is water, this is the kilocalorie (1000 calories). One calorie is the heat to raise one gram of water by 1 deg C. Other substances don't have the same specific heat capacity as water, so you have to correct for that, first find out the heat capacity (specific heat) for the substance you are dealing with.
What is thermal capacity?
The physical quantity which is used to measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a given substance is known as heat capacity or thermal capacity. Its S.I. unit is J/K.
What are the factors that determine the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature?
Mass, heat capacity, the desired raise in temperature.
What is the amount of energy needed to change the temp of a substance called?
The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius
What is the specific heat capacity of fish source?
To work out the specific heat capacity of fish source sauce you would need to first find out the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1oC
What is the heat capacity of wort?
The heat capacity of anything is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by 1 degree Celsius. You can use this fact to calculate the heat capacity of a wort.
What is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a certain mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius?
The heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a defined amount of pure substances by one degree (Celsius or Kelvin). The calorie was defined so that the heat capacity of water was equal to one.
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.
