Answer:
B. the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 gram by 1°C
Explanation:
The heat required by a substance having mass m to raise the temperature of it by ΔT.
Q = m c ΔT
where c is the specific heat of the substance.
Specific heat for a substance is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 gram by 1°C.
For example, the specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C. This means 4.186 J is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C.
