When does the thermal capacity of a substance become equal to its specific gravity?

Thermal capacity is equals to the product of the mass of the body and its specific gravity. Thus, specific heat is equals to the thermal capacity divided by the mass of the body. Now, if the mass of tue body be unity then specific heat will be equals to the thermal capacity of the body. So, thermal capacity of unit mass of a substance is equals to its specific heat


Is Temperature a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?

No. As Temperature isn't by any way a measure of how much energy is ''stored'' in a substance, it vary with the heat capacity of the said substance...«Heat capacity (usually denoted by a capital C, often with subscripts), or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity that characterizes the amount of heat required to change a substance's temperature by a given amount. In the International System of Units (SI), heat capacity is expressed in units of joule(s) (J) per kelvin (K).»


Does a thermometer bulb have large heat capacity or small heat capacity?

A thermometer bulb should have.small heat capacity. In case if it has large capacity, the temperature of the substance will get lowered due to the large amount of heat absorbed by the thermometer bulb

Chemistry calorimetry help?

Calorimetry measures the heat of chemical reactions and physical changes. The steps involved in solving calorimetry problems are as follows: The heat of the reaction is less than the amount of heat measured by the calometer. The heat gained by the calometer is the capacity of the calorimeter and temperature change of the sample undergoing the chemical and/or physical change. The combination of the two are calculated to heat reaction and given temperature change.
