Question 12 • Chemistry
Specific heat capacity is the heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. For this sample, that means the heat required to raise 1 g by 1°C (or 1 K) at constant pressure, as stated in choice A. Choice B leaves out the mass, so it describes heat for the whole sample rather than heat per unit mass.
