Specific heat indicates the amount of heat per unit mass. This is typically used when there is a rise in temperature by one degree Celsius.Ê

What is the Symbol to represent specific heat capacity?

Q is used to represent the total heat q is used to represent heat per unit mass. Sometimes the q will have a dot above it to represent rate of heat or a carat above it to indicate specific heat. The same is true for Q.

yes the R-value does indicate resistance to heat flow


How can thermometer be used to check the purity of a metal such as gold or iron?

A thermometer can be used to test the purity of a metal by measuring its specific heat capacity. Different metals have different specific heat capacities, so comparing the measured value to the known values for pure gold or iron can indicate the level of impurities present in the sample. A lower specific heat capacity than the known value may indicate impurities in the metal.

Why do cats go in heat and what are the signs that indicate a cat is in heat?

Cats go into heat to attract a mate and reproduce. Signs that indicate a cat is in heat include increased vocalization, restlessness, rubbing against objects, and a desire to escape outdoors.


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.

How does the specific heat affect the cooling and heating of materials?

The specific heat of a material determines how much heat energy is needed to change its temperature. Materials with high specific heat require more energy to heat up or cool down compared to materials with low specific heat. This means materials with high specific heat will heat and cool more slowly than those with low specific heat.


What are some specific heat questions that can help deepen understanding of the concept?

Some specific heat questions that can deepen understanding of the concept include: How does the specific heat of a substance affect its ability to absorb or release heat? Why do different substances have different specific heat capacities? How does the specific heat of a substance relate to its temperature change when heat is added or removed? How can the specific heat of a substance be experimentally determined? How does the specific heat of a substance impact its thermal conductivity and overall heat transfer properties?
