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 material properties.
One can relate them to material properties through the known material mass
or a material
volume or material
amount of substance :
Overall, there are totally six different heat capacity material measures:
