A substance's molar specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise one mole of that substance 1 degree Celsius.

For water, this is exactly one calorie, assuming the state of the water does not change. Otherwise, it depends on the substance, and the substance's current temperature and state.

One calorie (gram calorie) is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water 1 degree C. It is equivalent to 4.2 J (Joules). I am a bit hazy on my thermo/heat transfer but I believe the you must take the specific heat of the substance into account. The amount of energy required to heat one gram of cast iron will be greater than the amount of energy required to heat the same mass of water.

The amount of energy also depends on the specific substance. That is, for some substances, such a raise in temperature will require more energy than for others. For more information, do some reading on "specific heat".

is called the specific heat capacity. It varies depending on the material. Water for example has a heat capacity of 4.18 kJ/kg*K
