What is the specific heat capacity of air?
1 003 ## J*kg^-1*K^-1##
This only applies for air with 0°C
capacity tells us how much energy we need to add/take away to heat 1 kilogram of a substance for 1 degree celsius (or Kelvin, both of them are identical in size).
This is obvious from the unit we measure specific heat capacity with:
## J*kg^-1*K^-1##
However, it is quite easy to figure out specific heat capacity – there is an equation you can use:
##Q=m*c*DeltaT##
where ##DeltaT=T_1-T_2##
where ##T_1## is the initial heat, and ##T_2## is the new heat after change.
m stands for weight.
c stands for specific heat capacity.
Q stands for heat. You can measure heat with calorimeter.
Specific heat capacity is frequently used quantity. You can find it in Physical tables, ranging for different temperatures.
