The specific heat capacity of water is the number of calories required to raise the temperature of water from _ ˚C is 1.0.

Explanation

The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C)Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat to be supplied to (or taken out of) the unit mass of a system in order to increase (or decrease) its temperature by one degree in a thermodynamic process in which quantity X is imposed, according to: [1.25] δ Q = C X d T
