Specific heat of a substance at m.pt. or b.pt. for isothermal process and specific heat of a substance during adiabatic change respectively are:

Specific heat of a substance is a function of its

The specific heat of a substance at temperature at t^(@) c is s=at^(2)+bt+c . Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of m g of the substance from 0^(@) C to t_(0)^(@) C

Explain what is meant by specific heat of a substance. What are its units? How is molar specific heat different from specific heat?

How much heat (in joule) is required to raise the temperature of 205 g of water from 21.2^(@)C to 91.4^(@)C . Specific heate of water is 4.18 J g^(-1) .^(@)C^(-1) Strategy : The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1^(@C . Thus Specific heat = (("Amount of heat in joules"))/(("Mass of substance in grams")("Temperature change in" .^(@)C)) Rearrangement gives. Amount of heat (q) = Mass of substance (m) xx Specific heat (c ) xx Temperature change (Delta T)

Assertion : Specific heat of any substance remains constant at all temperatures. Reason : It is given by s= 1/m * (dQ)/(dt) .
