What is the difference betwwen heat capacity and specific heat
capacity ?

Hello,
The differences between specific heat capacity and heat capacity
are

Heat capacity
Specific heat
capacity

1) It is the heat required to increase the temperature of material
of any mass(m) by 10C So H = ms

1) It is the heat required to
increase the temperature by 10C of any material of mass
1kg
s = Î”Q

2) It depends on the mass of material

2) It is independent of the mass of material

3) Its SI unit is J/k

3) Its SI unit is J/(kg-k)

For example, specific heat of water is 4 179 J/g/Â°C
and heat capacity of water for 100g is 41 79 J/Â°C

Heat capacity	Specific heat capacity
1) It is the heat required to increase the temperature of material of any mass(m) by 1⁰C. So H = ms	1) It is the heat required to increase the temperature by 1⁰C of any material of mass 1kg. s = ΔQ
2) It depends on the mass of material.	2) It is independent of the mass of material.
3) Its SI unit is J/k.	3) Its SI unit is J/(kg-k)
