(i) The heat capacity of a body is 50 JK-1?
(ii) The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.4 J g-1 K-1?
Solution:
(i) According to the statement, the heat capacity of a body is 50 JK–. This means that we have to supply 50 joules of energy in order to increase the temperature of this body by 1 K.
(ii) According to the statement, specific heat capacity of copper is 0.4 J g-1 K-1. This means that we have to supply 0.4 joules of energy if we want to increase the temperature of 1g of copper by 1 K.
