Specific Heat, Heat Capacity
Index
When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C:
C = (DQ/ DT) , a quantity that is dependent on the Mass, m, of material. 

The mass independent "specific" heat capacity is: 
(C/m) = (DQ/m DT) = (Dq/ DT)

A molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per mole of material and may be referred to a gram mole or a kilogram mole of the substance.
