how can I calculate specific heat at constant pressure from mass specific heat and mole mass?
Specific heat in an izobaric process is a measure of the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius while keeping the pressure constant.
Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance, while heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an entire object. Specific heat is an intrinsic property of a substance, while heat capacity is an extrinsic property.
Specific heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat (in joules) by the mass (in kilograms) and the change in temperature (in degrees Celsius) of a substance. The formula is: specific heat = heat / (mass x change in temperature).
Specific heat is important in an izobaric process because it allows us to calculate the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a substance at a constant pressure. This is useful in many industrial and scientific processes, such as in refrigeration and heating systems.
Yes, specific heat can change in an izobaric process if the substance undergoes a phase change, such as from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. This is because different phases of a substance have different specific heats, as the molecules are arranged differently and require different amounts of heat to change their temperature.
