Key Concepts

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is an intrinsic property of a material that describes how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of one unit mass of the substance by one degree. By multiplying the specific heat capacity by the mass of the material, you obtain the overall heat capacity for that substance.

Heat Capacity

Heat capacity refers to the amount of energy required to raise an object’s temperature by one degree. It is an extensive property that depends on the total mass of the object and the nature of the material involved, and it indicates how much heat energy the substance can store.
