Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius is known as latent heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -specific heat, the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree. The units of specific heat are usually calories or joules per gram per Celsius degree.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 ° C is termed as the capacity of that body for a thermal change, thus it is called thermal capacity or the heat capacity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heat capacity is the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of a substance by 1.00°C. In equation form, heat capacity C is C=mc, where m is mass and c is specific heat.
