Given the question: Q: What is the term for the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celsius? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The specific heat capacity (c) of a substance, commonly called its "specific heat," is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 kelvin): q c= mT Specific heat capacity depends only on the kind of substance absorbing or releasing heat. It is an intensive propertythe type, but not the amount, of the substance is all that matters. For example, the small cast iron frying pan has a mass of 808 g. The specific heat of iron (the material used to make the pan) is therefore: c iron =. Choices: - thermal heat capacity - transferable heat - heat requirement - specific heat capacity A:
The answer is:
specific heat capacity
