by dividing the quantity of heat of a substance by the mass of that substance
Work is a scalar quantity.
A vector
Heat quantity refers to the amount of thermal energy transferred between two objects due to a difference in temperature. It is usually measured in units of joules or calories. Heat quantity is commonly used to describe the amount of heat exchanged during a physical or chemical process.
The measure of quantity of heat is given by the unit calorie (cal) or joule (J). Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.
No, work is not a vector quantity. It is a scalar quantity that represents the transfer of energy when a force is applied over a distance.

The science of measuring the quantity of heat is called calorimetry. It involves studying the changes in temperature that occur during a chemical reaction or physical process to determine the heat involved.
The quantity of heat can be calculated using the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature. By plugging in the values for these variables, you can find the amount of heat transferred.
A substance with a lower specific heat will warm more than a substance with a higher specific heat when the same quantity of heat is added. This is because substances with lower specific heat require less energy to increase their temperature compared to substances with higher specific heat.
A calorimeter.
Work is a scalar quantity, as it is described by a single value (the amount of energy transferred) and does not have a direction associated with it.
