The answer would be heat capacity. Heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat that is needed to raise the degree of heat in the object by 1. Heat capacity is an extensive property of matter, where it is proportional to the object; it is divided by the amount of substance, mass, or volume. To analyze the amount of heat in an object there are two dimensions namely molar heat capacity and specific heat capacity. Molar heat capacity calculates the amount of heat in moles, while specific heat capacity calculates it with grams.
