Solution
Specific heat :
Specific heat is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
The mathematical expression for specific heat is
C
=
Δ

m
Δ
T
, where
C
= specific heat,
Δ

= loss or gain of heat,
m
= mass,
Δ
T
= temperature difference.
