Concept introduction:

Specific heat is the property of a pure substance. Specific heat is the heat flow required to change the temperature of $1\text{g}$ of a substance by $1$ degree Celsius. It measures the relative ease with which a substance may be heated or cooled. A substance which has a low specific heat gains less amount of energy in warming through a temperature change. A substance which has a high specific heat gains a higher amount of energy in warming through a temperature change.
