The heat capacity of a sample should be divided by mass in grams to find the specific heat capacity. The correct option is D.
What is specific heat capacity?
When the temperature of a material rises 1 K (or 1 °C), the amount of heat (J) is absorbed per unit mass (kg).
It is an important quantity to calculate, the energy that is needed to heat up and cool down any object. The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
The specific heat capacity can be calculated by the given equation
By specific heat equation
[tex]Q = mc (T - T_\circ)[/tex]
So all other terms, like temperature in degrees Celsius temperature in kelvins volume in liters, are not taken for calculating the heat capacity. The mass is the quantity in which it is calculated.
Thus, the correct option is D. mass in grams.
