27: Specific Heat Capacities of Gases
- #2Can we define specific heat capacity at constant temperature?Ans : Specific heat capacity, `` s=\frac{\,\mathrm{\,\Delta \,}Q}{m\,\mathrm{\,\Delta \,}T}``, where `` \Delta ``Q/m is the heat supplied per unit mass of the substance and `` \,\mathrm{\,\Delta \,}``T is the change in temperature produced. At constant temperature, ​`` \,\mathrm{\,\Delta \,}``T = 0; therefore, s = infinity. So, we cannot define specific heat capacity at constant temperature.
