### Step-by-Step Text Solution 1. **Definition of Calorie**: - A calorie is defined as a unit of heat or energy. Specifically, it is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). 2. **Definition of Heat Capacity**: - Heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat that must be supplied to a given mass of a material to produce a unit change in its temperature. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin (J/K). ...
