Question

which measurment describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree celsius?

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific Heat

Explanation:

Specific heat is the measurement which describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.

It is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and the temperature change is usually expressed as shown below:

$Q=cm$Δ$T$

where $Q$ = heat added,

$c$= specific heat,

$m$=mass; and

Δ$T$ = change in temperature
