Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 Kelvin or `1^(@)C`
`" "DeltaQ=msDeltaT`
`"Therefore, "s=(1)/(m)((DeltaQ)/(DeltaT))`
The SI unit for specific heat capacity is `"J kg"^(-1)K^(-1)`
