Answer:
The specific heat of substance is defined as amount of heat that is required to raise temperature of that substance by "1 degree C or 1 K".
Explanation:
Water has very high specific heat, which means it requires quite a high amount of heat for raising temperature of water by "1 degree C". This specific heat of water is high because of the enormous amount of Hydrogen bonds that are present in the water molecules that do not let the water molecules to go apart from or expand during heating.
