When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 1.44 g of CaClh(s) are dissolved in 104.80 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 24.43 to 26.88 °C.

Explain the difference between heat capacity and specific heat of a substance. Heat capacity refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 °C; specific heat refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C. Thus, heat capacity is an intensive property, and specific heat is an extensive one. Specific heat refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 °C; heat capacity refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C.
