Question

how the specific heat of water is 1 calorie per gram per celsius in CGS system​

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific heat is the amount of energy required to change unit mass of a substance by unit temperature. Heat capacity depends on the mass of the substance.

The centimetre–gram–second system (CGS) of units is a variant of the metric system and based on the centimetre as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time.

Therefore the specific heat of water in the CGS system is 1 cal per gm per degree C; or in terms of joules, 4.18 joules per gm per degree C.
