Why is specific heat capacity more useful then heat capacity when comparing two materials

Chemistry
1 answer:
coldgirl [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1kelvin.

The heat capacity on the other hand, expresses the heat required to raise the temperature of  asubstance by 1kelvin.

When we use specific heat capacity, we are particular about the amount of heat that would be needed to actually cause a temperature change in a unit of a substance. This suggests that even if we don't have a complete substance, we can be sure that by knowing the mass of a unit of a body one can easily estimate how much heat is required to raise its temperature. The specific heat is fundamental in calculating the heat capacity of a body. Without the value of the specific heat, we cannot evalutate the heat capacity of a body.

How does changing the concentration of the reactants change the parts of a rate law? It changes the rate, R. It changes the rate
Sidana [21]

Answer

A. It changes the rate, R

Explanation

When we change the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction, it affects the rate of reaction that happens in the process. Typically, the rate of reaction will decrease with time if the concentration of the reactants decreases because the reactants will be converted to products. Similarly, the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of reactants are increased.
