Question

How can specific heat capacity be used?

Answer 1

Hint: The amount of heat mandatory to change the heat content of 1 gram of a material by 1 $^{o}C$ is called specific heat. The specific heat is going to be denoted with Csp.
\[Q=Cm\Delta t\]
Here Q = amount of heat absorbed by a body
m = mass of the body
$\Delta t$ = raise in temperature of the system
C = specific heat capacity of a substance

Complete answer:
- In the question it is asked how a specific heat capacity van can be used.
- The unit for specific heat capacity is
Heat capacity = (specific heat) (mass)
- Water is going to be used mostly as a heat specific capacity substance because of its free availability and high heat capacity.
- Specific heat capacity is widely used at the time of heat transfer operations in the chemical plants in the air conditioning system.
- Heat capacity is an extensive property.
- Specific heat capacity simply called specific heat.
- The specific heat capacity of water in joule/kg kelvin is 4184.
- Water is the substance which has a high specific heat capacity.
- Therefore specific heat capacity has more uses.

Note:
The cooking apparatus used in restaurants or in homes are made up of the metals which has low specific heat capacity because the apparatus will get heat with minimum application of the heat or energy. The land surface on the earth has low heat capacity then the sea water, so that during day time the land will get heat more easily than the oceans or seas.
