The unit for specific heat is Joules/g-Kelvin or it can be Joules/g-Celsius J= Joules g= Grams C= Celsius.
1. â T = T final-T initial (1) Specific heat capacity (specific heat) (C p) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. The value of the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gâ o C (the unit is read as Joules per gram per degree Celsius).
