Is entropy the same as heat capacity?


A formula for entropy:
dS=dQ/dT

This is a formula that represents the rate of change of heat with respect to temperature.

Q=mcdT

This is another formula that states how the temperature changes as heat is added.

from this can we say that entropy is just specific heat capacity * Mass, i.e entropy is just heat capacity?
