Amount of energy needed to change an object’s temperature exactly by 18 degrees celsius
A
Heat of vaporization
B
Specific heat capacity
C
Change of state temperature
D
Specific state capacity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4, 200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4, 200 J to raise the temperature of one kg of water by 1 °C.

Detailed explanation-2: -The specific heat (cs) is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1°C; its units are thus J/(g•°C).
