Self-Test 7.2B The temperature of 5.5 g of stainless steel is increased from 20.°C to 100.°C. What is the change in the entropy of the stainless steel The specific heat capacity of stainless steel is 0.51 J-(°C) -g 1. 

For a thermometer to react rapidly to changes in the surrounding temperature, the magnitude of the time constant should be small. This involves a high surface area to liquid mass ratio, a high heat transfer coefficient and a low specific heat capacity for the bulb liquid. With a large time constant, the instrument will respond slowly and may result in a dynamic measurement error. 

What is unique about these three properties of water boiling point, specific heat capacity, and density change over phase change ... 

The development and application of the method can be illustrated by considering the problem of integrating the utilisation of energy between 4 process streams. Two hot streams which require cooling, and two cold streams that have to be heated. The process data for the streams is set out in Table 3.3. Each stream starts from a source temperature Ts, and is to be heated or cooled to a target temperature Tt. The heat capacity of each stream is shown as CP. For streams where the specific heat capacity can be taken as constant, and there is no phase change, CP will be given by ... 

Which of the equations given for AH is used here Both. You can see from the factor-label method solution that the atomic weight divided into the molar heat capacity is the specific heat capacity while the mass divided by atomic weight is the number of moles. Thus, we have cither moles times molar heat capacity times change in temperature or mass times specific heat times change in temperature. 

The temperature profile of a planetary atmosphere depends both on the composition and some simple thermodynamics. The temperature decreases with altitude at a rate called the lapse rate. As a parcel of air rises, the pressure falls as we have seen, which means that the volume will increase as a result of an adiabatic expansion. The change in enthalpy H coupled with the definition of the specific heat capacity... 

The other extreme case is the adiabatic change, which occurs with no heat transfer between the gas and the surroundings. For a reversible adiabatic change, k = y where y = Cp/Cv, the ratio of the specific heat capacities at constant pressure (Cp) and at constant volume (C ). For a reversible adiabatic change of an ideal gas, equation 6.27 becomes... 

The specific heat capacity commonly has units of J/g-K. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g-K. If we have the specific heat capacity, the mass, and the change of temperature, it is possible to determine the amount of energy absorbed or released (q). 

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 K, while the molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per mole. 

Heat energy will flow from an object of a high temperature to an object of a lower temperature. An object with a high temperature does not necessarily contain more heat energy than one with a lower temperature as the temperature change per unit of heat energy supplied will depend upon the specific heat capacity of the object in question. 

Specific heat capacity is a different concept to latent heat as it relates to an actual temperature change. 

All samples of the same substance have the same specific heat capacity. In contrast, heat capacity, C, relates the heat of a sample, object, or system to its change in temperature. Heat capacity is usually expressed in units of kJ/°C. 

You can use the following equation to calculate the heat change of a substance, based on the mass of the substance. You can also use this equation to calculate the specific heat capacity of the substance and the change in its temperature. 

Try the following problems to practise working with specific heat capacity and temperature change. 

It is most important to know in this connection the compressibility of the substances concerned, at various temperatures, and in both the liquid and the crystalline state, with its dependent constants such as change of. melting-point with pressure, and effect of pressure upon solubility. Other important data are the existence of new pol3miorphic forms of substances the effect of pressure upon rigidity and its related elastic moduli the effect of pressure upon diathermancy, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and magnetic susceptibility and the effect of pressure in modif dng equilibrium in homogeneous as well as heterogeneous systems. 

The SI unit for heat capacity is J-K k Molar heat capacities (Cm) are expressed as the ratio of heat supplied per unit amount of substance resulting in a change in temperature and have SI units of J-K -moC (at either constant volume or pressure). Specific heat capacities (Cy or Cp) are expressed as the ratio of heat supplied per unit mass resulting in a change in temperature (at constant volume or pressure, respectively) and have SI units of J-K -kg . Debye s theory of specific heat capacities applies quantum theory in the evaluation of certain heat capacities. 

If a substance is heated without a change of state, the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram by 1° C is called the specific heat capacity of the substance. Similarly, the molar heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1° C. Table 7-2 shows the heat capacities of several elements and compounds. 

If the mean specific heat capacity does not change appreciably during reaction, rearranging eqn. (34) and integrating leads to the result... 

Calorimetry is the measurement of heat changes that accompany a process (see Chapter 15 for details). The important values to know are heat (q), mass (m), specific heat capacity (C, and the change in temperature (AT). If you know any three of these values, you can calculate the fourth with this equation ...
