The property which states how quickly a substance heats up or cools off?
(Specific) heat capacity.
Does a substance that cools off quickly have a high or low specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of an object or substance by 1oK. The rate at which something cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings. Consequently, neither has any relation to the other.
Does a substance that cools up quickly have high or low specific heat capacity?
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
Which has the greater specific heat capacity- an object that cools quickly or an object of the same mass that cools more slowly?
The object that cools more slowly would have the greater specific heat, because the amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of it one degree is less than the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the first object one degree. i.e. the object that cools quickly does so because it doesn't need a lot of heat to increase the temperature of it by one degree and the one that cools more slowly does so because it needs more heat to increase the temperature of it by one degree.
If you were trying to find a substance that increases in temperature rapidly you should choose a substance with?
A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.
What is heat capacity of a substance?
fyyrruytrum
Capacity of a substance to do work?
heat
Substance A has a higher heat capacity than does substance B and substance B has a higher heat capacity than does substance C. If you add the same amount of heat to all three which order shows the pro?
c
When a substance cools off what type of energy is it losing?
Heat energy.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What is the significance of heat capacity?
The specific heat of a substance allows us to calculate the amount of heat energy required to change its temperature. Water has a specific heat nearly 11 times great than copper, therefore, water will take 11 times more energy to heat. Also water heats slowly and copper heats and cools rapidly.
What happens to heat capacity if mass id doubled?
Heat capacity is measured either for one gram or one mole of a substance so the mass of substance does not matter.
