What is specific heat?
It is the heat required to rise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (1°C).
Since the amount of heat energy supplied is the same to both substances, it seems that different substances require different amounts of neat energy to cause the _____ temperature rise.

Specific Heat Formula
Specific Heat Formula
The formula for calculating specific heat, where 'c' is specific heat, 'Q' is heat energy, 'm' is mass, and 'ΔT' is the change in temperature.
Study Notes
- The amount of heat energy supplied to substances can be the same, but different substances need different amounts to cause the same temperature to rise
Specific Heat
- Specific heat is the heat it requires to rise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (°C)
- Conversion: 85°F to °C
C = Q/θ
