The heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by 1 degree Celsius is known as ____
A
Specific Heat
B
H Bond
C
Polar Covalent
D
Intermolecular Forces
Explanation: 

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 capacity is the amount of heat necessary per unit mass to raise an object’s temperature by one degree; i.e. the heat capacity per unit mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C).

Detailed explanation-4: -The heat energy required to raise the temperature of of a substance through is called its specific heat capacity.
