Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as


Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?

The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.


What is expressed in unit of calories or btu?

heat energy


What is energy expressed as heat?

Energy expressed as heat is the kinetic energy transferred between particles within a substance or between different substances due to a temperature difference. It is commonly measured in units such as joules or calories.


What is the relation of the molar heat of fusion to the molar heat of vaporization?

Molar heat of fusion: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a solid in liquid (expressed in kJ/mol). Molar heat of vaporization: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a liquid in gas (expressed in kJ/mol).


Is calorie a noun?

Yes, it is a noun. It is a unit of energy, often expressed as heat, or as the energy value of food.


What is the definition for latent heat of melting?

The amount of heat released / absorbed from a substance at constant temperature as you change state from liquid->solid / solid->liquid.


What do you call the heat released when 1 mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion?

The heat released when 1 mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion is called the molar heat of combustion.


What is the laten heat of fussion?

The latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy needed to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point. It is a characteristic property of each substance and is usually expressed in joules per gram.


What can power be defined as?

Power is the rate of doing work, or of heat transfer, and is expressed in watts which is equivalent to a joule per second.


What units are used to express a heat transfer?

Heat transfer can be expressed in units of joules (J) or calories (cal). Another common unit for heat transfer is the British thermal unit (BTU) in some regions.


What is unit is thermal energy?

BTU's or calories are directly related to the heat capacity of a substance or the heat produced in a reaction. All energy can be expressed in Joules, and for heat the relation is 4.2 Joules per calorie, this is called the mechanical equivalent of heat.Thermal energy is measured in joules (j).1 calorie = 4.2 JoulesAnswerIn SI, all forms of energy are expressed in joules(J).The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is an imperial unit for energy, rarely used anywhere outside the United States. The calorie is an obsolete (cgsA) unit despite being used (kilocalories) to some extent in the food industry.The terms, 'heat energy' and 'heat capacity' are both obsolete, having been replaced with 'internal energy' and 'specific heat capacity' (which is expressed in joules per kilogram kelvin).Work and heat are both described as energy in transit, and measured in joules.
