Lesson outcome
I can explain how a material’s specific heat capacity describes how easily it is heated or how much energy it transfers as it cools.
Show transcript
Different hot metals, of the same mass and starting temperature, heat a fixed amount of water by different amounts.
The energy a material has because its particles are moving with forces between them can be labelled internal energy.
The larger the specific heat capacity of a material, the more energy transferred to increase its temperature by 1ºC.
The larger the specific heat capacity of a material, the more heating it does as its temperature falls by 1ºC.
