INTENSIVE QUANTITY, HEAT CAPACITY PER MASS
Specific heat; Specific Heat Capacity; Massic heat; J/kg/K; J/(kg x K); Cal/g/K; Cal/(g x K); Massic heat capacity
In thermodynamics, the specific heat capacity (symbol ) of a substance is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the mass of the sample, also sometimes referred to as massic heat capacity. Informally, it is the amount of heat that must be added to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature.
