Specific heat is the heat capacity of an object divided by its mass in grams.

a. True

b. False

True. This is because specific heat depends on the heat capacity and the unit of mass. Mass, as we know is measured by grams, so this is a correct statement.

Answer: True

True, because molar heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise 1 mol of a compound by 1 Kelvin. 1 mol of a compound has an equal number of grams to his molar molecular mass. Therefore, dividing it by the mass of 1 mol (aka molecular mass) is equal to amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree Kelvin.
