(N/A) Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of $1 \ g$ of a substance by $1 \ K$. Its unit is $J \ K^{-1} \ g^{-1}$ or $J \ g^{-1} \ K^{-1}$.
Molar heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of $1 \ mol$ of a substance by $1 \ K$. Its unit is $J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ or $J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$.
