Specific heat capacity — Supplement Learning Objectives
Summary
- Describe an increase in temperature of an object in terms of an increase in the average kinetic energies of all of the particles in the object
- Define specific heat capacity as the energy required per unit mass per unit temperature increase; recall and use the equation c = ΔE / (mΔθ)
- Describe experiments to measure the specific heat capacity of a solid and a liquid
