where ΔE is the change in energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system.
ΔE = Q - W
Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. where ΔE is the change in energy, Q
For ideal gases, the internal energy (U) is a function of temperature only. where ΔE is the change in energy, Q
