Answer 2

the amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 Degree Celsius is called heat capacity
★for example water, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Degree Celsius
★specific heat capacity of water =4200 Joulekilogram - 1 kelvin -1✓
