Resource summary
Specific Heat Capacity
E = m x c x θ
c = E / m x θ
E= energy tansferred in Joules
m = mass in Kg
c = specific heat capacity
θ = the impreture change in °C
Energy needed to raise the tempreture of 1Kg of a substance 1°C
Specific Heat Capacity
Water = 4200 J/Kg°C
Oil = 2100 J/Kg°C
Oxygen = 920 J/Kg°C
Aluminium = 900 J/Kg°C
Concrete = 850 J/Kg°C
Copper = 490 /Kg°C
Iron = 390 J/Kg°C
Tempreture and heat are not the same thing
Temperature is a measure of how hot something is
Heat is a measure of the thermal energy contained in an object
Temperature is measured in °C, and heat is measured in J. When heat energy is transferred to an object, its temperature increase depends upon the:
The mass of the object
The substance the object is made from
The amount energy transferred to the object
