Answer:

See the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to understand in a better way what the specific heat is, we must analyze the units of measurement of this scalar magnitude.


[(kJ)/(kg*C) ] or [kJ/kg*°C]

For example for water Cp = 4.1 [kJ/kg*°C]

That is, to increase the temperature by one degree celsius in one kilogram of water, 4.14[kJ] of energy is required.
