Question

explain molar specific heat.

Answer 1

Molar specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature on one mole of a substance by 1 Kelvin (or 1 Celsius degree). It can be determined using the formula

c = Q / nΔT,

where Q is the heat transferred to a substance, n is the amount of a substance in moles, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The unit of molar specific heat is J/mol*K or J/mol*^oC.
