its a or J/°C, J/K, cal/°C, cal/K

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Hello!

The units that express heat capacity are J/ °C; J/K; and cal/ °C

Why?

Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a determined amount of substance.

As the heat capacity increases, more heat will need to be given to the substance to increase its temperature.

Heat capacity is expressed mathematically as:

`\lim_(\Delta T \to 0) (Heat)/(\Delta Temperature)`

So that means that Heat capacity will have units of Heat (in J or cal) over temperature (in °C or K).

Have a nice day!
