What is heat capacity?
Think of it as how much heat something can absorb.
Write the formula for heat capacity.
What do C, m, and c stand for?
What is the formula for calculating heat capacity?
Remember what C denotes in the formula.
True or False: Heat capacity is dependent only on mass.
What else influences how much heat is absorbed?
A 10 kg object made of a material with a specific heat capacity of 0.3 J/g°C is heated by 25°C. How much heat energy is absorbed?
Make sure to convert kg to grams first!
If you have two objects of equal mass, one with a specific heat capacity of 0.9 J/g°C and another with 3.5 J/g°C, which will get hotter faster when equal heat is applied?
Consider which material can absorb more heat before temperature rises.
