Molar Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure Cp
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of any substance by one degree Kelvin at constant pressure is called the Molar Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure and it is denoted by Cp.
The formula for calculating Molar Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure Cp is,
Cp = dH/dt (at constant pressure)
where,
Cp represents the specific heat at Constant Pressure
dH is the Change in Enthalpy
dt is the Change in Temperature
Heat Capacity
Heat capacity or thermal capacity is an extensive property of matter, that defines its physical property. Heat Capacity is the amount of heat that must be applied to an object in order to cause a unit change in temperature. Heat capacity is measured in Joules per Kelvin (J/K), which is its SI unit. When heat capacity is divided by the mass of the substance, gives the corresponding intensive property called Specific Heat Capacity. Moreover, heat capacity divided by the amount of substance in volumes gives Molar Heat Capacity. Hence, in this article, we’ll understand the important concepts of Heat Capacity like its definition, explanation, formula, unit, specific heat capacity, molar heat capacity
