Heat Capacity And Calorimetry - Example 2

Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a mass unit by one degree. The symbol for heat capacity is "C". The specific heat capacity of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass. The heat capacity of a substance varies with temperature, and certain materials have a very large heat capacity. The specific heat capacity, also called the specific heat, is the heat capacity per unit mass of a substance. The SI unit for specific heat capacity is joules per kilogram kelvin, although the calorie (cal) and the kilogram calorie are still in wide use.
