  2. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    Heat capacity or thermal capacity is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to an object to produce a unit change in its temperature. [1] The SI unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin (J/K).

  3. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    In thermodynamics, the specific heat capacity (symbol c) of a substance is the amount of heat that must be added to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature.

  5. Heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

    The molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit amount (SI unit: mole) of a pure substance, and the specific heat capacity, often called simply specific heat, is the heat capacity per unit mass of a material. Heat capacity is a physical property of a substance, which means that it depends on the state and properties of the substance under ...
