Specific heat capacity vs molar heat capacity
Is molar heat capacity a type of specific heat capacity since it is per amount?

yes, its basically how must heat needed to raise one mole of a substance 1 degree, whether it is Celsius or Kelvin

Re: Specific heat capacity vs molar heat capacity
The specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per mass of substance while the molar heat capacity is per moles of substance. The concepts are very similar.

Re: Specific heat capacity vs molar heat capacity
Not necessarily; Specific heat is particularly per a unit of mass, rather than just an amount of something. Molar heat capacity falls under an 'amount' since it is per one mole. So, I wouldn't associate them as one type of the other, but just two similar measures of heat capacity useful in their own right.
