Amount of heat to be supplied to a given amount of a material to produce a unit change in its temperature:
C = \frac{\delta Q}{\delta T} |
Heat Capacity depends on the way the heat is transferred and as such is not a table property of the matter.
The two major heat transfer processes are isobaric and isohoric which define:
Both and
are proportional to the amount of the matter involved in a Heat Transfer process and as such are not table properties of the matter.
One can calculate them based on the mass of material or a volume of the material
