Heat capacity ( C p ) is an extensive property but specific heat (c) is an intensive property. What will be the relation between C p and c for 1 mol of water?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

o Heat capacity (C_p) of a substance is the amount of heat energy required in order to raise its temperature by 1 Kor 1 ^oC.

o Whereas, The specific heat is the amount of heat per mole required to raise the temperature by one degree.

1 mole of water = 18 g.

Hence, for water Heat capacity = 18 × specific heat.

i.e. C_p = 18 × C .

Heat capacity (Cp) is an extensive property but specific heat (c) is an intensive property. What will be the relation between Cpand c for 1 mol of water?
