c

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius is called…
a) heat of vaporization           
b) specific heat capacity
c) heat of sublimation
d) heat enthalpy

b

Explanation: water has high specific heat, it means water absorb or releases lare quantities of heat energy with little change in temperature
