The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius is called:
- A Specific heat capacity
- B Enthalpy
- C Thermal conductivity
- D Heat of fusion
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Specific heat capacity (often simply referred to as specific heat) is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin). It is an intensive property of matter and is measured in units of energy per unit mass per degree Celsius (e.g., J/g°C or cal/g°C).
