Specific heat capacity ‘c’ • The amount of energy an object can store depends on: • i) the material it’s made from • its mass • how hot it is Specific heat capacity ‘c’ is the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1Kg of the substance by 1 0 C . Units of ‘c’ are J/kg/ 0 C Energy transferred = mass x sp. ht. cap. x temperature change E = m x c x θ Degrees Celsius 0C Joules, J Kilograms, kg Sp.ht.cap, J / kg / 0 C
