Question

If H is the heat absorbed by a substance, 'm' is the mass; C specific heat capacity and θ, the rise in temperature, then specific heat capacity is given by the expression.

Options

• \[\mathrm{C}=\frac{H}{m \theta}\]

• \[\mathrm{C}=\frac{H \theta}{m}\]

• \[\mathrm{C}=\frac{H m}{\theta}\]

• \[\mathrm{C}=\frac{m \theta}{H}\]

Answer 1

\[\mathrm{C}=\frac{H}{m \theta}\]

Explanation:

Given H = mCθ

Dividing both sides by mθ gives $$C = \frac{H}{m\theta}$$

So the correct expression is $$C = \frac{H}{m\theta}$$
