When heat is transferred in a space the average energy of the particles - the temperature of the substance - is affected, by increasing or decreasing. The change in temperature depends on the number of particles affected.
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.
A graph showing the change in temperature of a substance as it is heated will typically show an initial increase in temperature as heat is added, followed by a plateau where the substance changes phase (e.g., from solid to liquid), and then another increase in temperature. The specific shape of the graph will depend on the properties of the substance being heated.
Latent heat is the energy required to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature, while specific heat is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius. Latent heat affects phase changes (like melting or boiling) while specific heat affects temperature changes. Both play a role in determining how quickly a substance's temperature changes when heat is added or removed.
Adding energy to a liquid at 20 degrees Celsius will increase its temperature, causing it to heat up. As it reaches its boiling point, the liquid will undergo a phase change and turn into a gas.
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.
The size of a temperature increase in a substance primarily depends on the amount of heat energy added to the substance and its specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity determines how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount.
The substance with the highest specific heat capacity will experience the smallest rise in temperature with the same amount of heat energy added. Water has the highest specific heat capacity among common substances, so it will experience the least rise in temperature when a fixed amount of energy is added.

One way to determine the specific heat of a solid substance that does not react with water is by using the method of calorimetry. This involves measuring the temperature change of the substance when it is heated or cooled, and using the formula q = mcΔT to calculate its specific heat capacity, where q is the heat added or lost, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change.
