George · Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of energy that is required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a body by exactly 1k.

When calculating the amount of heat required, we usually employ the use of the formula that relates the amount of heat, the mass of the body, the specific heat capacity and the temperature change. The amount of heat is represented by H, the mass of the body by m, the heat capacity by C while the temperature difference is represented by delta T
