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.

Will the same mass of iron and water require the same amount of heat to increase their temperature the same number of degrees?
No, no. Of course not. The amount of heat Q required to increase the temperature of a body of mass m having specific heat capacity c through DO degrees celsius is given by: Q = mcDO Thus, the one with the higher specific heat capacity will require more heat energy.
Water is a good coolant because of its hig heat of?
Water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorbs a lot of heat in comparison to other molecules of the same amount or volume.
When your body breaks down sugar completely how much heat is released compared to burning the same amount of sugar in a flame?
The body releases the same amount of heat.
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.
Which have lowest specific heat capacity?
They will be the same because the molecular structure of the tea is the same as the molecular structure of water. The added tea to water does not affect the molecular structure of water.
Will the same mass of iron and water require the same amount of heat to increase their temperature the same number of degrees?
No, no. Of course not. The amount of heat Q required to increase the temperature of a body of mass m having specific heat capacity c through DO degrees celsius is given by: Q = mcDO Thus, the one with the higher specific heat capacity will require more heat energy.
What is a penny's specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass. So it depends on the exact alloy composity of your penny, and not on its size.In a typical US post-1962 penny, the specific heat capacity is about .39 kJ/kgKIn a US penny from 1864-1962, the specific heat capacity would be a little less than this. The same was true from 1837-1857.From 1793-1837, the specific heat capacity was about .39 kJ/kgK.
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.
Water is a good coolant because of its hig heat of?
Water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorbs a lot of heat in comparison to other molecules of the same amount or volume.
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.

The body releases the same amount of heat.
What is tap water specific heat capacity?
Looking for the same thing i can only hazard a guess that it will be close to that of pure water and it would vary from region to region. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(g x °C).
Which have lowest specific heat capacity?
They will be the same because the molecular structure of the tea is the same as the molecular structure of water. The added tea to water does not affect the molecular structure of water.
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
Why aluminum can store more heat than iron?
yes
Two objects may have the dame temperature but they will not have the same amounts of thermal energy unless they also have they same amount of what?
