"The heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of the substance through 1 K" is called:
Correct answer: C. Molar specific heat
- A. Specific latent heat
- B. Heat capacity
- C. Molar specific heat
- D. Specific heat capacity
Explanation
Molar specific heat capacity is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by. In SI units, molar heat capacity is the heat in joules required to raise 1 mole of a substance by 1 Kelvin. This perfectly compliments the statement given in option C so it is correct.

About Molar Specific Heat of a Gas
Molar specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a gas by one kelvin, expressed through Q = nCΔT. Questions compare the constant volume value Cv with the constant pressure value Cp, apply the ideal gas relation Cp − Cv = R, and identify how the thermodynamic process affects heat capacity.
