The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance through `1^(@)C` is called

A

Water equivalent

B

Thermal capacity

C

Entropy

D

Specific heat

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The amount of heat per unit mass absorbed or rejected by the substance to change its temperature by one unit is called specific heat capacity. But if mass is not there then it will be thermal capacity.

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

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)

Statement 1: A gas has a unique value of specific heat. Statement 2: Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the substance through unit degree.
