Specific heat capacity the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree. 

We quantify heat with the equation q = m X X AT. In this expression, Cj is the specific heat capacity, the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 g of the substance by 1 °C. Compared to most substances, water has a very high heat capacity—it takes a lot of heat to change its temperature. 

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to change one mole of a substance by one degree in temperature. Therefore, unlike the extensive variable heat capacity, which depends on the quantity of material, specific heat is an intensive variable and has units of energy per number of moles (n) per degree. 

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 view that the clay surface perturbs water molecules at distances well in excess of 10 A has been largely based on measurements of thermodynamic properties of the adsorbed water as a function of the water content of the clay-water mixture. There is an extensive literature on this subject which has been summarized by Low (6.). The properties examined are, among others, the apparent specific heat capacity, the partial specific volume, and the apparent specific expansibility (6.). These measurements were made on samples prepared by mixing predetermined amounts of water and smectite to achieve the desired number of adsorbed water layers. The number of water layers adsorbed on the clay is derived from the amount of water added to the clay and the surface area of the clay. 

Heat capacity The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by a given amount. If given on a per unit mass basis, this is called the specific heat capacity or specific heat. 

HEAT CAPACITY. The amount of heal necessary, to raise the temperature of a sysiem, entity, or substance by one degree of temperature. It is most frequently expressed in calories per degree cenrigrade or Btu per degree Fahrenheit, if the mass of a substance is specified, then certain derived values of the heal capacity can be obtained, such as the atomic heat, molar heut. or specific heat. 

Thermochemical measurements are based on the relationships between heat and temperature. The measurement that relates to the two is heat capacity, defined as the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a substance 1°C. (The amount of substance is sometimes expressed in moles or in grams.) The heat capacity of a mole of a substance is known as the molar heat capacity, while the heat capacity for gram values of a substance are known as specific heat capacities. The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of the substance 1°C. The formula that is used to calculate specific heat is Equation 17.4 ... 

Molar heat capacity The amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance one degree Celsius with no change in state usually expressed in kJ/mol-°C. See Specific heat. 

The heat capacity, or specific heat, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree. In metric units it is expressed in cal/g°C. It can be measured at constant pressure or constant volume at constant pressure, it is larger than at constant volume because additional energy is required to bring about the volume change against external pressure. The specific heat of amorphous polymers increases with... 

If one can keep the number of moles and the volume constant, terms 2 and 3 are zero because dV and dn are zero. The change in heat, dQ, is then expressed by the first term alone. These conditions of zero dV and dn are used so often that (8U/3T)v, has been given a new name, the heat capacity (heat capacity at constant volume and constant number of moles). Speaking somewhat more loosely, one can say that the heat capacity is the amount of heat, necessary to raise the temperature of the system by one kelvin at constant volume. The heat capacity that refers to one gram of the substance is the specific heat capacity. The older term specific heat is to be abandoned since it would refer to the integral quantity U. This is the type of error in nomenclature that led, for example, to the questionable interpretation of Count Rumford s experiment in Sect. 2.1.1. 

CALORIMETRY (SECTION 5.5) The amoimt of heat transferred between the system and the surroundings is measured experimentally by calorimetry. A calorimeter measures the temperature change accompanying a process. The temperature change of a calorimeter depends on its heat capacity, the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by 1 K. The heat capacity for one mole of a pure substance is called its molar heat capacity for one gram of the substance, we use the term specific heat. Water has a very high specific heat, 4.18 J/g-K. The amount of heat, q, absorbed by a substance is the product of its specific heat (Cj), its mass, and its temperature change q = Cj X m X AT. 

Heat capacity (specific heat) n. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance one degree. In the SI system, the unit of heat capacity is J/kgK, but kJ/kgK, or J/gK are often more convenient. Conversions from older units are 1 cal/g°C = 1 Btu/lb°F = 4.186 J/ gK. Most neat resins have heat capacities (averaged from room temperature to about 100°C) between 0.92J/gK for polychloro-trifluoroethylene and 2.9 for polyolefins (The heat capacity of water, one of the highest of all materials, is 4.18J/gK at room temperature.) A term loosely used as a synonymous with heat capacity but not truly so is specific heat. 

Note that specific heat has the units J/(g °C) and heat capacity has the units J/°C. Table 5.2 shows the specific heat values of some common substances. If we know the specific heat and the amount of a substance, then the change in the sample s temperature (AT) will tell us the amount of heat (g) that has been absorbed or released in a particular process. One equation for calculating the heat associated with a temperature change is given by... 

Heat capacity The amount of heat required to result in a unit temperature change of a material. Specific heat capacity is normalised by unit of mass molar heat capacity, by mole. 

Figure 2 shows the thermal balance in the blown part during the cooling phase while injecting atomized water and air. The dissipated heat flow at the internal surface depends on the amount of the injected atomized water. Additionally, the dissipated heat flow is affected by the temperature difference between the injected and the exhausted media. The heat transfer at the internal surface can be specified by the specific heat capacity, the enthalpy of evaporation, the temperatures and the mass of the different media and the heat transfer coefficient. The physical model leads to the shown integral equation. The equation describes the amoimt of the maximum dissipated heat flow. 

Heat storage, body The amount of heat that can be stored in a body due to its temperature, mass, and specific heat capacity. 

Heat capacity is an extensive property the larger the sample, the more heat is required to raise its temperature by a given amount and so the greater is its heat capacity (Fig. 6.10). It is therefore common to report either the specific heat capacity (often called just specific heat ), Cs, which is the heat capacity divided by the mass of the sample (Cs = dm), or the molar heat capacity, Cm, the heat capacity divided by the amount (in moles) of the sample (Cm = C/n). For example, the specific heat capacity of liquid water at room temperature is 4.18 J-(°C) -g, or 4.18 J-K 1-g and its molar heat capacity is 75 J-K -mol1.
