Answer 1

Answer:

Specific heat capacity, or simply specific heat, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance. As water requires more time to boil than does alcohol, you might conclude that water requires more heat than alcohol to raise its temperature. In other words, water has a higher specific heat capacity. That conclusion would be accurate. To better understand specific heat capacity, we need to distinguish between heat and temperature, as both of these terms are used in its definition.
