Thermal energy transfer required per unit mass to increase the temperature by 1°C or 1 K is called?
Answer: Specific heat capacity
Explanation
Specific heat capacity is the thermal energy transfer required per unit mass to increase the temperature of a substance by 1°C (or 1 K).
It is a measure of how much heat energy a substance can absorb or release per unit mass per unit temperature change.
