Heat Capacity Equations

[205957986]

What is the equation for the specific heat capacity and how does it change depending on the circumstance the reaction is under (does it change when new variables are introduced?)

[Vikram Senthil]

The equation for specific heat capacity is Q = mcΔT. Specific heat capacity typically remains constant for a substance under constant pressure or constant volume conditions, but it can vary with changes in pressure, temperature, or during phase transitions, reflecting the substance's ability to absorb or release heat energy. These variations allow for a more comprehensive understanding of heat transfer in different circumstances.

[Sarah Egan 3A]

The specific heat capacity can change based on things like the phase of a substance, temperature, pressure, composition.
It also depends on the composition of a substance.
