Question

State two differences between "Heat Capacity" and "Specific Heat Capacity".

State three differences between the heat capacity and specific heat capacity.

Answer 1

	Heat capacity	Specific heat capacity
1.	It is the quantity of thermal energy needed to bring the core body temperature up by 1°C.	It is the quantity of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of a body's mass by 1°C.
2.	That is proportional to the body's mass. The body's heat capacity increases as its bulk increases.	The amount of mass in the body is irrelevant. This quality is inherent to the material that makes up the body.
3.	The measurement unit for this system is J K-1.	It can be expressed in J kg-1 K-1.
