Question

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature off 1 kg of water through $1^{o}C$ is ........

• A. Calorie
• B. Thermal capacity
  
• C. Specific Heat
  
• D. Kilo calorie

Answer 1

The correct option is D Kilo calorie

Calorie - The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through $1^{o}C$ at a pressure of 1 atm.

Thermal capacity - The amount of heat energy required to produce a unit change of temperature in a unit mass of a substance.

Specific heat - The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body through $1^{o}C$

Kilo calorie - The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water through $1^{o}C$ at 1 atm.

Hence the correct option is D
