Question

What is specific heat? Why specific heat different for different
substances?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Each substance will have a different mass, so when the amount of heat and the change in temperature are held constant, the only variable is the mass. Therefore, because mass is the only variable, so because substances have different masses, they will have different specific heats...

Answer 2

Answer:

Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a given sample by

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity depends upon the nature of the substance. ... If equal heat is provided to both the samples, because of difference in the number of molecules, the average kinetic energy will become more for the one which has less number of molecules.
