Question

Which statement defines the heat capacity of a sample? the temperature of a given sample the temperature that a given sample can withstand the quantity of heat that is required to raise the sample’s temperature by 1°C (or Kelvin) the quantity of heat that is required to raise 1 g of the sample by 1°C (or Kelvin) at a given pressure

Answer 1

Answer is: the quantity of heat that is required to raise the sample’s temperature by 1°C (or Kelvin).

Heat capacity of a sample is expressed in units of thermal energy per degree temperature (J/K).

Heat capacity is often defined relative to a unit of mass (J/kg·K or J/g·K), prefixed with the term specific.

For example, specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g·K (Cp(H₂O) = 4.184 J/g·K).
