Heat capacity is measured either for one gram or one mole of a substance so the mass of substance does not matter.

What happens to the specific heat of a material if mass is doubled?
There is no change; specific heat is an intensive property of a material, independent of the amount.
Why a mass of lead heats up faster than an equal mass of aluminium?
It has a lower specific heat capacity
Molar heat capacity of water?
Molar heat capacity of liquid water = 75.3538 Molar heat capacity = molar mass x specific heat
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 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 happens to kinetic energy if the mass is doubled?
what happens if the kinectic energy if the mass doubled
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.
What happens if the suspended mass is doubled?
If the suspended mass is doubled, then its weight will also double. Nothing more can be predicted from the information given in the question.
What does heat capacity depend on?
Mass and specific heat.
Is specific heat capacity inversly proportional to its mass?
No. Specific heat capacity is 'normalized' with respect to mass, so it's a property of the substance, regardless of the mass of the sample.
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What factors affect heat storing of materials?
heat capacity and mass
What happens to the strength of gravity when mass is doubled?
When mass is doubled, gravitational attraction is doubled. There is a direct relationship.=========================Answer #2:Gravitational attraction always involves two objects, and the strength of thegravitational forces between them is proportional to the product of both masses.So . . .-- If one mass or the other is doubled, the forces are doubled.-- If both masses are doubled, the gravitational forces become 4 times as great.
What is the relationship between the mass of a material and the amount it can transfer?
Heat is transferred based on the temperature of a mass (relative to the cooler mass it is transferring heat to) and the heat capacity of the mass. The total heat capacity is a product of the mass and the specific heat, i.e. Heat capacity = mass x specific heat. The hotter the mass, the more heat it can transfer. The greater the mass, the more heat it can transfer per degree of temperature drop. 100 kg of boiling water could be expected to be able to transfer 100 times the amount of heat of just 1 kg of boiling water for a drop of 1 °C.
