Question

using the proper units for energy
which is the metric standard for measuring energy?
which unit is used for specific heat capacity?
if you wanted to compare the ability to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use? calories j/g°c joules

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one - gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. Its unit is joules per gram per degree Celsius ($J/g^{\circ}C$). To compare the ability of substances to gain or lose thermal energy, we use the unit of specific heat capacity ($J/g^{\circ}C$).

Answer:

Which unit is used for specific heat capacity? $J/g^{\circ}C$
If you wanted to compare the ability of substances to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use? $J/g^{\circ}C$
