Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a substance is heated and the heat used to raise its temperature by a unit mass of the given amount is known as specific heat of the substance.
Mathematically, [tex]Q = mC\Delta T[/tex]
where Q = heat added in calories or joules
m = mass of substance in grams or kg
C = specific heat
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature
Thus, [tex]c = \frac{cal}{g^{o}C}[/tex]
Hence, we can conclude that a valid unit for specific heat is ca[tex]cal/g^{o}C[/tex].
The unit of specific heat has been given by cal/g[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]. Thus, option D is correct.
The specific heat has been the amount of heat that has been required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree celsius.
The specific heat has been given as:
Specific heat = [tex]\rm \dfrac{heat}{mass\;\times\;change\;in\;temperature }[/tex]
Substituting the units for the following:
Specific heat = [tex]\rm \dfrac{calorie}{grams\;\times\;degree\;celsius}[/tex]
Specific heat = cal/g[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].
Thus, the unit of specific heat has been given by cal/g[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]. Thus, option D is correct.
