Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise a system's temperature by one degree, expressed in units of thermal energy per degree. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree, expressed in joules per kg per degree Kelvin. The document provides formulas for heat capacity and specific heat capacity, and gives an example quiz to test understanding of specific heat capacity definitions and calculations involving changes in temperature and heat energy.
Heat capacity
the amountof heat needed to raise the system's temperature by
one degree (usually expressed in Celsius or Kelvin).
It is expressed in units of thermal energy per degree temperature.
3.
Formula:
unit of heatcapacity: J/K
Where
C = heat capacity (J/K)
Q = Amount of heat energy (J)
Δθ = change in temperature (K)
4.
Specific Heat Capacity
Theamount of heat needed to increase the temperature of one
kilogram of a substance by one degree is the specific heat
capacity.
It is expressed in joules per kg per degree kilvin.
5.
Formula:
unit of specificheat capacity: J/kgK
Where
c = specific heat capacity (J/kgK)
Q = Amount of heat energy (J)
Δθ = change in temperature (K)

2. When 3.0kg of water is cooled from 80.0 C to 10.0 C, how
much heat energy is lost?
3. How much heat is needed to raise a 0.30 kg piece of
aluminum from 30. C to 150 C?
4. Calculate the temperature change when:
a)10.0 kg of water loses 232 kJ of heat.
b) 1.96 kJ of heat are added to 500. g of copper.
