Question

What is specific heat capacity?
Options
A Heat required to raise 1 mole by 1°C
B Heat required to raise 1 g of the substance through 1°C
Correct Answer
C Total heat capacity of a system
D Heat required for phase change
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Specific heat capacity Cₛ is the amount of heat required to raise 1 g of the substance through 1°C (or 1 K). Cₛ = q/(m·ΔT). Unit: J·g⁻¹·K⁻¹ or J·g⁻¹·°C⁻¹.

Hint

The notes define specific heat capacity.
