The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required or absorbed to raise the temperature of a given substance by 1°C.
Usually denoted by a capital C, often with a subscription) is a measurable quantity that describes the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance (object) by a certain amount (eg 1°C).
When calculating the amount of heat, what we calculate is the amount of heat transfer. Heat is an energy that moves from objects with a higher temperature to objects with a lower temperature.
The heat capacity formula is as follows,
C = Q : ∆T
C : Heat capacity (joules/°C).
Q : Heat (joules).
∆T : Change in temperature (C).
