Question

define specific heat?what is the value of specific heat of water?​

Answer 1

Answer: the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).

The SI unit of specific heat capacity is joule per kelvin per kilogram, J⋅kg−1⋅K−1. For example, the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 K is 4184 joules, so the specific heat capacity of water is 4184 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1.
