What is the heat capacity of Cu
« on: December 15, 2005, 11:08:54 PM »
I need this for my lab tomorrow because we're suppose to research this and I can't find it plus I need it in J/g C form and most site use kelven instead of C.

Another question is that heat capacity and specific heat is the same right?

Thank you for your time.

Hmmm... I do not think that there is a difference between the J/mol*C and J/mol*K form. Think about this for a while. The heat capacity of something can be at any mass. The specific heat capacity of a substance is specifically for one gram.

I hope this helps. Good luck on your lab!

1 Kelvin and 1 degree Celcius share the same magnitude.

The only difference between the Kelvin and Celcius scale is that the Kelvin Scale is absolute, ie. all measurements in Kelvin are always positive.

In terms of temperature, 0K = -273.15 degree celcius.

If the website gives you the heat capacity in terms of mole and not gram, just convert it from a molar basis to a mass basis. 1 mole of Copper is equivalent to 63.546g.

Yeah! What he said! How did you end up doing on the lab?
