Heat Capacity¶

Heat capacity is a thermodynamic property that describes the amount of heat that must be added to the system in order to change the temperature of the system by one unit. The exact amount of heat supplied to a given system depends on the thermodynamic process, and it can also depend on the pressure and temperature of the system.
