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!

Explain why substances with hig specific heats take longer to heat up than substances wit the same mass which have low specific heats?
Type your answer here... A substance with high specific heat means it can absorb alot more heat energy before its temperature increases. A substance with low specific heat cannot absorb alot of heat energy so its temperature increases quickly because it cant absorb the heat. Remember there is a difference between Heat energy and Temperature. The ocean can absorb alot of heat energy but still feel like its cold in temperature. The tip of a needle can be at 1000 degrees temperature but there is hardly any actual heat energy in it because its so small.
One substance that heats more slowly than many other substances is?
The substance that heats more slowly than other substances could be water. But this idea is based on the high heat capacity of water. It takes more thermal energy (heat) to elevate the temperature of a given amount of water than an equal amount of another substance. But other substances might heat more slowly than water because heat does not travel "into" or "through" them very well. Different experiments may yield different results.
Bad conductor of heat?
Substances that Don't have the capacity to carry heat
Is heat a common noun?
Yes, "heat" is a common noun. It refers to a general concept of thermal energy or warmth, rather than a specific, unique entity. Common nouns name general items, substances, or concepts, and "heat" fits this definition.
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
What effect does the specific heat have on cooling?
The specific heat of a substance affects the amount of thermal energy required to cool it. Substances with higher specific heat values require more energy to cool down compared to substances with lower specific heat values. This means that substances with higher specific heat values will cool down more slowly than substances with lower specific heat values.
What are the substances that has low specific heat capacity?
Substances with low specific heat capacity include metals like aluminum and copper, as well as gases like helium and hydrogen. These substances heat up and cool down quickly compared to substances with higher specific heat capacities.
What substances that heat and cool quickly have a high or low specific heat?
A substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.
Metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities than nonmetallic substances?
Metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities than nonmetallic substances because metallic bonds allow for more energy to be absorbed without a large increase in temperature. This means that metallic substances can store more heat energy per unit mass compared to nonmetallic substances.
What are some specific heat problems that can arise when comparing two substances?
When comparing two substances, specific heat problems can arise if the substances have different specific heat capacities. This can lead to inaccuracies in calculations involving heat transfer or temperature changes between the substances. It is important to account for these differences to ensure accurate results in thermodynamic analyses.
Why same amount of heat supplied to same amount of different substances does not produce the same increase in temperature?
There is a formula in physics ΔQ=m*c*ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance you are heating, ΔQ is the heat you supply to the substance, c is the specific heat which has a different value for different substances and ΔT is the change in temperature. If your substances are different and they have the same mass then by supplying the same amount of heat the change in temperature will be different.
The absorption of heat by any substances is dependent upon?
its specific heat capacity
A difference in this results in different ending temperatures when the same amount of thermal energy is added to two different substances?
The specific heat capacity of a substance determines how much thermal energy is needed to raise its temperature. Therefore, substances with different specific heat capacities will reach different ending temperatures when the same amount of thermal energy is added. Substances with higher specific heat capacities will have smaller temperature increases compared to substances with lower specific heat capacities.
What is a substance with low specific heat?
Substances with low specific heat have the ability to heat up or cool down quickly with a small amount of energy. Common examples include metals like copper and aluminum, which have low specific heat compared to substances like water.
When the same quantity of heat is added per unit as does a substance having a lower specific heat warm more or less than a substance having a higher specific heat?
A substance with a lower specific heat will warm more than a substance with a higher specific heat when the same quantity of heat is added. This is because substances with lower specific heat require less energy to increase their temperature compared to substances with higher specific heat.
What group of substances is arranged in order of decreasing specific hear values?
Substances can be arranged in order of decreasing specific heat values based on their ability to absorb heat without a significant change in temperature. Generally, water has one of the highest specific heat values among common substances, followed by substances like ethanol, wood, and metals such as aluminum and iron. The specific heat varies widely among different materials, so the exact order will depend on the substances being compared.
How does specicific heat land?
Specific heat is a property that measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius or Kelvin. It varies between different materials and is an important factor in determining how substances respond to changes in temperature. Generally, substances with a higher specific heat require more energy to change their temperature, while substances with a lower specific heat heat up faster.
