Specific heat is the energy required to effect a given temperature change in a known mass.
Explanation:
As heat flows into a system, its temperature will increase. The amount of temperature increase depends on solely three things:
- How much heat was added
- The size of the object
- The material that the object was made off
Metal tends to have a higher specific heat while water have a low specific heat capacity.
In terms of pressure, according to Boyle's law, there is a direct relationship between pressure and temperature.
