Heat capacity properties are often prefixed with the term "specific". International standards now recommend that specific heat capacity always refer to division by mass. The units for the specific heat capacity are formula_7. In chemistry, heat capacity is often specified relative to one mole, the unit of amount of substance, and is called the molar heat capacity. It has the unit formula_8. For some considerations it is useful to specify the volume-specific heat capacity, commonly called volumetric heat capacity, which is the heat capacity per unit volume and has SI units formula_9. This is used almost exclusively for liquids and solids, since
Work (physics) "weight "lifted" through a height", which is based on the use of early steam engines to lift buckets of water out of flooded ore mines. According to Dugas, it is to Solomon of Caux "that we owe the term "work" in the sense that it is used in mechanics now". The SI unit of work is the joule (J). The SI unit of work is the joule (J), which is defined as the work expended by a force of one newton through a displacement of one metre. The dimensionally equivalent newton-metre (N⋅m) is sometimes used as the measuring unit for
