What is the specific heat of an unknown substance if 2000J of energy are required to raise the temperature of 4 grams of the substance 5 degrees celsius?
Just use the definition of specific heat. Use the following formula: (energy) = (mass) x (temperature difference) x (specific heat) Replace the amounts you know, and solve for the one you don't - in this case, the specific heat.

What is the definition of specific heat (apex)?
the amount of heat need to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substnace 1 C; also called specific heat capacity
Why you prefer molar specific heat as compared to the simple specific heat?
In chemistry instead mass in kg it would be nice to deal the quantity in moles. Hence molar specific heat is best fit.
What is a substance that has a specific heat?
Every substance has a specific heat. The definition of specific heat is: The amount of energy, usually measured in calories, needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a certain substance by one degree Celsius.
What is the definition of specific heat capacity?
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1°C.
Why specific heat capacity increase with temperature?
Specific heat capacity is by definition a per-unit-mass property. Therefore it does not depend on the mass of the substance.

If the heat capacity of an object is known what other information will need to be known to calculate its specific heat capacity?
By using the definition of "specific heat". You add a certain amount of heat, and see how much the temperature increases. You also need to measure the sample's mass. Then divide the amount of heat by (mass x temperature increase).
What is the definition of heat energy?
The definition of Heat Energy is The energy created by conduction. : )

definition of a motor
Why specific heat is large specific volume?
Specific heat has nothing to do with specific volume.
