The heat capacity or thermal capacity of a body is the quotient between the amount of heat energy transferred to a body or system in any process and the change in temperature it experiences. In a more rigorous form, it is the energy necessary to increase the temperature of a certain substance by one temperature unit. [1] It indicates the greater or lesser difficulty that said body presents in experiencing changes in temperature under the supply of heat. It can be interpreted as a measure of thermal inertia. It is an extensive property, since its magnitude depends not only on the substance but also on the amount of matter in the body or system; therefore, it is characteristic of a particular body or system. For example, the heat capacity of the water in an Olympic-size swimming pool will be greater than that of the water in a glass. In general, heat capacity also depends on temperature and pressure.

sinceramente eres la primera persona a la que le tradusco la tarea xd
Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
