Answer 2

specific heat>?

Answer 3

it measure the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree.

Answer 4

of a unit mass of a a substance by one unit of temperature?

Answer 5

How do you measure heat? We measure in units of energy: calories or Joules

How do we measure mass? By kg or g or lbs.

How do we measure temperature? By Kelvin or Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Now Heat = c m (T2 - T1), where
c = specific heat
m = mass
T2 - T1 = change in temperature

Hence

Units of c = (Units of heat) / [ (Units of mass) . (Units of temperature) ]
= Joules /( grams . Celsius)

or whatever other units you want for heat, mass and temperature.
