Heat capacity measures heat required to change substance temperature by one degree. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K). Heat capacity formula: C = q/ΔT, where q is heat added and ΔT is temperature change
Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise a unit temperature of a substance. Heat capacity is measured in Joules per Kelvin (J/K). Heat capacity depends on the mass and size of the substance
Specific heat is heat required to change substance temperature by one degree. Isobaric specific heat (Cp) used in constant pressure systems. Isochoric specific heat (Cv) used in constant-volume systems
Vaporization requires heat to break intermolecular bonds in liquid state. During vaporization, temperature remains constant for pure substances. Heat of vaporization is latent heat, not directly measurable in temperature
Heat capacity measures heat required to change substance temperature by one degree. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K). Heat capacity formula: C = q/ΔT, where q is heat added and ΔT is temperature change
Total energy of a system equals internal energy plus kinetic and potential energies. Internal energy is a state function that varies with temperature and pressure. Change in internal energy depends only on initial and final states
