    J / (gi°C), J / (giK), cal / (gi°C), cal / (giK)

    Explanation:

    The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise its temperature per one unit of its mass. In essence, this is saying the amount of heat in Joules (J) needed to raise 1gram (g) of a substance per one unit of temperature in Kelvin (K). Specific heat capacity is denoted by, c.

    The S. I unit of specific heat capacity is not limited to J / (gK) alone but since heat energy can also be measured in Calories (cal) and temperature can also be measured in degree Celsius (°C), the unit of specific heat capacity can also be the following:

    J / (gi°C) = Joules per gram per degree Celsius

    J / (giK) = Joules per gram per Kelvin

    cal / (giK) = calories per gram per Kelvin

    cal / (gi°C) = calories per gram per degree Celsius
