SI Unit of Heat Capacity
The SI unit for the heat capacity of a substance is Joule per Kelvin (J/K or J⋅K−1). When the temperature is increased by 1°C is the same as an increase of 1 K, which is the same unit as J/°C.
Dimension of Heat capacity is [L2 M T−2 Θ−1]
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
