General Chemistry II
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). It reflects how much energy a substance can store and how its temperature changes when it absorbs heat. This property is crucial for understanding energy transfer, temperature changes, and the behavior of substances under varying thermal conditions.
