Specific 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.

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.
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What is the speciic heat capacity of KNO3?
What is the specific heat capacity of kno3
Why adding sme amount of heat to two different abjocts not necessary produce the same increase intemperature?
Because two objects' material has different specific heat capacity. Water seems having the highest specific heat capacity. 4180 J/kg/K
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is the specific heat capacity by mechanical method?
what the specific heat usefull
What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity?
A calorimeter can be used to calculate specific heat capacity.
