2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is specific heat capacity?
Think about thermal energy and temperature change.
What does 'equipartition of energy' mean?
Focus on modes and energy.
What is the specific heat capacity of a solid derived from?
Recall how vibration leads to energy distribution.
True or False: All solids have the same specific heat capacity.
Consider specifics of substances.
You have a solid that occupies 2 moles with a specific heat capacity of 3R. If each mole can be described by energy U = 3kBT, calculate the total thermal energy at a temperature of 300 K.
Use the specific heat capacity relation to find thermal energy.
If two materials have specific heat capacities of 3R and 5R respectively, calculate how much of a temperature increase can be achieved if you add the same amount of heat to each.
Apply C = Q/(nΔT) to find relationships.
