Heat Capacity
Heat capacity is the amount of heat a substance
must absorb to raise its temperature by 1 C.
cal/C or J/C.
Metals have low heat capacities; insulators have
high heat capacities.
Specific heat = heat capacity of 1 gram of the
substance.
cal/gC or J/gC.
Waters specific heat = 4.184 J/gC for liquid.
Or 1.000 cal/gC.
It is less for ice and steam.

Specific Heat Capacity
Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise
the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1 C.
The larger a materials specific heat is, the more
energy it takes to raise its temperature a given amount.
Like density, specific heat is a property of the type of
matter.
It doesnt matter how much material you have.
It can be used to identify the type of matter.
Waters high specific heat is the reason it is such a
good cooling agent.
It absorbs a lot of heat for a relatively small mass.

Heat Gain or Loss by an Object
The amount of heat energy gained or lost by an
object depends on 3 factors: how much material
there is, what the material is, and how much the
temperature changed.
Amount of Heat = Mass x Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
q = m x C x AT
