Flexi Says: The specific heat of a substance allows us to calculate the heat absorbed or released as the temperature of the substance changes. The heat added to the mass m to change in temperature ΔT is related to the specific heat c by the equation Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance. If ∆T for the first substance is greater than ∆T for the second substance for constant heat and mass, then it means the specific heat capacity for the first substance is lesser than for the second substance.
