Factors Affecting Heat Quantities
• The amount of heat contained by an object depends
primarily on three factors:
• The mass of material
• The temperature
• The kind of material and its ability to absorb or retain heat.

Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
• The ability of a substance to absorb or retain heat varies
widely.
• The heat capacity depends on the nature of the material.
• The specific heat of a material is the amount of heat
required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance
1 oC (or Kelvin)

Heat Transfer Problem 1
Calculate the heat that would be required an aluminum
cooking pan whose mass is 400 grams, from 20oC to 200oC. The
specific heat of aluminum is 0.902 J g-1 oC-1.
Solution
Q = mCT
= (400 g) (0.902 J g-1 oC-1)(200oC – 20oC)
= 64,944 J

Heat Transfer Problem 2
What is the final temperature when 50 grams of water at
20oC is added to 80 grams water at 60oC? Assume that the
loss of heat to the surroundings is negligible. The specific
heat of water is 4.184 J/ g /oC
Solution: Q (Cold) = Q (hot) mCT= mCT
Let T = final temperature
(50 g) (4.184 J g-1 oC-1)(T- 20oC)
= (80 g) (4.184 J g-1 oC-1)(60oC- T)
(50 g)(T- 20oC) = (80 g)(60oC- T)
50T -1000 = 4800 – 80T
130T =5800
T = 44.6 oC
