The definition of Specific Heat Capacity is:

"The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg (a unit mass) of the substance by 1C (a unit temperature rise)"

Symbol: c

Unit: Jkg^-1K^-1

c=ΔQ/m
Where:

ΔQ is the heat energy added (or removed)

m is the mass of the substance you are heating (or cooling)

Δθ is the change in temperature.
