1. Specific Heat Capacity (or specific heat) is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
2. The specific heat capacity of a substance depends on the nature of the substance, its phase and the temperature.
3. The specific heat capacity of a substance is usually expressed in units of Joules per gram per Kelvin (J/g/K).
4. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than most other substances, which is why it is used to regulate temperatures in many applications.
5. Metals generally have higher specific heat capacities than non-metals.
6. Specific heat capacity is an important property of materials and is used to calculate the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a system.
7. The specific heat capacity of a substance is affected by the temperature, and is usually higher at lower temperatures.
8. The specific heat capacity of a substance can be determined experimentally by measuring the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a sample.
9. Specific heat capacity is also used to calculate the latent heat of fusion and vaporization of a substance.
10. Specific heat capacity is an important physical property that is used to understand the behavior of materials in various applications.
