Describe how the amount of heat released or absorbed related to specific heat capacity and amount of it?

Answer : Amount of heat absorbed or released is directly related to specific heat capacity and amount of it.

Explanation :

Heat capacity : It is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature by one degree.

Specific heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one gram of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.

Formula used :

where,

Q = heat absorbed or released

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

= change in temperature

From the formula we conclude that, amount of heat absorbed or released is directly related to specific heat capacity and amount of it.

That means, the amount of heat absorbed or released is doubled if quantity is doubled. If a different substance with half the specific heat capacity is used then the amount of heat absorbed or released is cut in half.
