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.
How does waters heat holding capacity affect humen beings?
it helps the body remove the heat through sweating
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
What is the ability of a substance to absorb heat energy is called?
Specific heat capacity describes how much heat energy that is needed to raise the temperature of material.
How do you measure molar heat capacity?
Specific heat is the heat capacity divided by the heat capacity of water, which makes it dimensionless. To obtain molar heat capacity from specific heat for a material of interest, simply multiply the specific heat by the heat capacity of water per gram [1 cal/(g*C)]and multiply by the molecular weight of the substance of interest. For example, to obtain the molar heat capacity of iron Specific heat of iron = 0.15 (note there are no units) Molar heat capacity of iron = 0.15*1 cal/(g*C)*55.85 g /gmole = 8.378 cal/(gmole*C)
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 does heat capacity depend on?
Mass and specific heat.
Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
How much the temperature of a material is changed by heat energy depends?
It depends on the amount of material (its mass), on how much heat energy is added, and on the material's heat capacity.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
Heat capacity is the characteristic of a material to?
Retain. And give. Off heat and energy
How does waters heat holding capacity affect humen beings?
it helps the body remove the heat through sweating
What material is a radiator made of?
Material with low specific heat capacity and with blackened surface are good for radiators.
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.
Should saucpan be made of material with high or low heat capacity?
high
The of a material is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of you kg of the material 1 K?
specific heat capacity
Do heaters use materials that have a high or low heat capacity?
heaters use material what have low specific heat capacity as it means they give off heat slower which preserves the heat to last all day
