Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question about the differences between "Heat Capacity" and "Specific Heat Capacity," we can break it down into two main points: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition:** - **Heat Capacity**: It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of an entire body by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). - **Specific Heat Capacity**: It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass (1 kilogram) of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). ...
