How does specific heat affect temperature?

Answer 1

It does not!

Specific Heat capacity by definition is the quantity of heat (or energy) needed to raise the temperature of #1 g# of a certain element or compound by #1^@C#.

Therefore, it is independent of temperature and is determined experimentally.

Here is a video that further explains the specific heat capacity and its use:

Specific heat affects temperature by determining how much energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance. Substances with a higher specific heat require more energy to increase their temperature compared to substances with a lower specific heat. Therefore, substances with higher specific heat tend to have more stable temperatures, as they absorb and release heat more slowly. Conversely, substances with lower specific heat experience larger temperature changes with the same amount of heat energy input or removal.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
