Kinetic Model of Ideal Gases:

1. The gas is composed of identical molecules moving in random directions in an area that is several orders of magnitude larger than their size

2. Collisions are completely Elastic

3. The transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat.

Specific Heat Capacity vs Thermal Capacity

• https://askanydifference.com/difference-between-specific-heat-and-thermal-capacity/

• Basically Thermal Capacity is its abillity to store heat, in contrast, heat capacity is its overall ability to absorb heat without increasing temperature.

  • Therefore, if there is greater amount of stuff ( mass ), it will be able to store more heat, in addition, if it can absorb more heat without increasing temperature, naturally it can absorb more heat.

$$\text{Thermal Capacity} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Specific Heat Capacity}$$
