Distinguish between the spetific heat capacity and the molar specific heat capacity of a substance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The amount of beat required to raise 1kg of the sabstan.ce by 1K of temperature is called as the specific heat. It is expressed in tenns of `Jkg^(-1)K^(-1)`
`S=1/m(/_\Q)/(/_\theta)`
The amount of heat required to raise 1 mole of the substance by 1K temperature is called as the molar specific heat. It is expressed in terms of `Jmol^(-1)K^(-1)`
`C=1/mu(/_\Q)/(/_\theta)` where C=(molar mass) (specific heat)
and `/_\theta` is rise temperature and `/_\theta` is the amount heat supplied. 'n' represents the number of moles given by `mu=(m("mass"))/(M("Molar mass"))`
