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

Chemistry
1 answer:
coldgirl [10]4 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.

In the deep space between galaxies, the density of atoms is as low as 106 atoms/m3, and the temperature is a frigid 3.0 K. What
Savatey [412]

Answer:

4.388*10^-^2^1

Explanation:

Given:

N/V= 106 atoms/m^3

T=3.0K

we know the values of

K_{b} =1.38*10^-^2^3 J/K

N_{A} =6.02*10^2^3/mol

Formula:

PV=NK_{b} T

rearranging the formula and substituting values

P=(NK_{b} T)/V

P=(106)(1.38*10^-^2^3)(3)

P=4.388 *10^-^2^1 Pa
