Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these s?
The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B. If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these samples, substance A will have a lower temperature than substance B.
What is used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance?
The equation for specific heat is: C = q/temp. change x mass. C is a substance's specific heat, which is a constant for every substance. q is its heat capacity in joules, temp. change is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius, and mass is in grams.
What is the specific heat of a substance that has a mass of 25 grams and requires 525 calories to raise its temperature by 15 degrees celsius?
We know that Q=m.s.t, where Q= Heat, s= Specific heat of the substance, t=temperature(Difference in temperatures) =>s= Q/m.t =>s=525/(25X15) =>s=525/375 =>s=1.4 cal/g/0c Specific heat of the substance is 1.4 cal/g/0c.
What is substances specific heat?
The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the substance to 1 degree greater than that of the initial temperature of the body!
What does the specific heat of a substance?
The ability of a substance to hold heat.
What thermometer measures -specific heat of a substance -absolute temperature of substance -heat intensity?

What is the amount of energy that it takes to raise temperature of 1gram of substance by 1 degree kelvin?
Heat energy, although almost any energy will become heat. The amount of energy required depends on the substance.
What is a substance that has a specific heat?
Every substance has a specific heat. The definition of specific heat is: The amount of energy, usually measured in calories, needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a certain substance by one degree Celsius.
Will specific heat of 50 g of a substance be the same as or greater than the specific heat of 10 g of the same substance?
same
