Joule/kilogram-kelvin

The SI unit is joules / kelvin. This is valid for an object of any size, but if you want the typical specific heat for a certain type of material, you have to standardize it, resulting in either joules / (kelvin x kilogram) or joules / (kelvin x mole).

What does the specific heat of a substance represents?

The ability of a substance to hold heat.


How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?

Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.


Correct units to determine specific heat?

Specific heat is typically measured in units of J/(g°C) or J/(gK), which represent the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius or one Kelvin, respectively. It is a measure of the substance's ability to store thermal energy.


Write the expression and value for the specific heat of water?

The expression for specific heat is Q = mc(delta T) where Q is the heat added, c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and delta T is the change in temperature in degrees C. Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit of mass needed to raise the temperature by 1 degree C. The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gram degree C = 4.186 joule/gram degree C. Water has a higher specific heat than most common substances.


In the equation Q mc and DeltaT c represents .?

In the equation Q = mcΔT, the variable c represents the specific heat capacity of the substance. The specific heat capacity is a value that indicates how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1 degree Celsius. It is a characteristic property of the substance.

What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?

Heat capacity is the total amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a given amount, while specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity is a property intrinsic to the substance, while heat capacity depends on the amount of the substance present. The heat capacity of a substance is the product of its specific heat capacity and its mass.

What is the effect of a substances density on its specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity of a substance is not directly affected by its density. Density refers to the mass of a substance per unit volume, while specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. The specific heat capacity of a substance is determined by its molecular structure and composition, not its density.
