Question 7 • * SY2026-27 - 2003340 Chemistry 1 Sem 2 CR

Which units express heat capacity?

Answer
A
J/°C, J/K, cal/°C, cal/K
B
J/(gi°C), J/(giK), cal/(gi°C), cal/(giK)
C
J, cal
D
°C, K

Explanation

Heat capacity is the energy needed to raise an object's temperature by one degree, so its units are energy divided by temperature. J/°C, J/K, cal/°C, and cal/K all have that form. Choice B includes mass in the denominator, so those are units of specific heat capacity instead.
