210 14-1 EXPERIMENT 14 SPECIFIC heat CAPACITY I. THEORY In this experiment, we will determine the SPECIFIC heat CAPACITY of a metal and compare it to an accepted value. The heat CAPACITY of an object, C, is defined as the amount of heat that must be added to the object to raise its temperature by 1 K (or 1 C). The SPECIFIC heat CAPACITY of a substance, c, is defined as the amount of heat that must be added to one kilogram of a sample of that substance to raise its temperature by 1 K (or 1 C).
The specific heat capacity of a substance, c, is defined as the amount of heat that must be added to one kilogram of a sample of that substance to raise its temperature by 1 K (or 1 °C). Since specific heat capacity does not depend on the object in question, only the substance from which it is made, specific heat capacities are much more useful.
