Detailed explanation-1: -The specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1.00 kg of mass by 1.00 ºC. The specific heat c is a property of the substance; its SI unit is J/(kg ⋅ ⋅ K) or J/(kg ⋅ ⋅ °C °C ).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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 1 kg of water by 1°C.
