Chapter 8, Problem 8.49SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Specific heat and molar heat capacity of Titanium has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of $1g$ of a substance by accurately $1°C.$

Specific heat is denoted by ‘c’ and the formula is,

$c=\frac{q}{m\times \Delta T}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}q=quantity\text{ of heat added}\\ \Delta T=change\text{ in temperature}\\ \text{m}\text{= mass of the substance}\end{array}$

Molar heat capacity is quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance.  It is denoted by $C_m$ and has formula,

$C_m=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}$

Where,

$Q=heat,\Delta \text{T = change in temperature}\text{.}$
