Heat Capacity
Heat capacity
Heat capacity (often abbreviated Cp) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Heat capacity may also be defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by one degree Celsius (the molar heat capacity) or to raise one gram of a substance by one degree Cel-
sius (the specific heat capacity). Heat capacity is related to a substance's ability to retain heat and the rate at which it will heat up or cool. For example, a substance with a low heat capacity, such as iron, will heat and cool quickly, while a substance with a high heat capacity, such as water, heats and cools slowly. This is why on a hot summer day the water in a lake stays cool even though the air above it (which has a low heat capacity) heats quickly, and why the water stays warm at night after the air has cooled.
Heat capacity and calorimetry
Calorimetry is the study of heat and heat energy. A calorie is a unit of heat energy in the British system of measurement. In the metric system, energy is measured in joules, and one calorie equals 4.184 joules. When any substance is heated, the amount of heat required to raise its temperature will depend on the mass of the object, the composition of the object, and the amount of temperature change desired. It is the temperature change and not the individual starting and final temperatures that matters. The equation that relates these quantities is
q = m Cp AT
where q is the quantity of heat (in joules), m is the mass of the object (usually in grams), Cp is the heat capacity (usually in joules/gram degree,) and DELTAT is the change in temperature (in degrees Celsius). The amount of heat required depends on the mass to be heated (i.e., it takes more heat energy to warm a large amount of water than a small amount), the identity of the substance to be heated (water, for example, has a high heat capacity and heats up slowly, while metals have low heat capacities and heat up quickly), and the temperature change (it requires more energy to heat up an object by 60 degrees than by 20 degrees).

Heat capacity is an extensive property, meaning it varies with the size of the system. If you double the system’s mass, then the heat capacity will also double.
