The unit for specific heat if Joules per kilogram per kelvin (Jkg-1K-1)
Now kg and K are both already SI units for mass and temperature respectively. But the Joule is the unit of energy which is not an SI unit; it is a derived unit.
Now energy= force x distance = Newtons x meters
So now we have Joules being equal to newton x meters. but the newton is also a derived unit for the quantity of force
Force = mass x acceleration = kg x ms-2
Now we have everything in SI unit form:
Joules = (force) x (distance) => From this we get:
Joules = (kgms-2) x (m) = kgm2s-2
Now specific heat = Jkg-1K-1 ; Substituting the values for Joules:
Thus we arrive at specific heat = (kgm2s-2) x (kg-1) x (K-1)
Expanding: m2s-2K-1 (the (kg) x (kg-1) cancel out each other.)
"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI. For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.
The specific heat capacity of dry air at constant pressure is approximately 1005 J/(kg · K) in SI units. This means it takes 1005 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of air by 1 Kelvin when pressure is held constant.
SI units are defined for physical measurements, like measurements of mass, length, etc. - there are no specific SI units for plain numbers.SI units are defined for physical measurements, like measurements of mass, length, etc. - there are no specific SI units for plain numbers.SI units are defined for physical measurements, like measurements of mass, length, etc. - there are no specific SI units for plain numbers.SI units are defined for physical measurements, like measurements of mass, length, etc. - there are no specific SI units for plain numbers.
The SI unit for heat is the joule (J). Additionally, the calorie (cal) is a commonly used non-SI unit for heat, where 1 calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules.

In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
SI units for specific heat capacity is joule per kilogram kelvin (J/kg,K).
Specific heat is the energy stored in the form of heat per temperature and amount (mass, moles, or volume) and varies depending on composition, temperature, crystalline configuration, and phase (solid, liquid, or gas). For elemental iron it varies from 4.13-10.0 cal/mole K or (in SI units) 309-749 J/kg K. For liquid elemental iron the specific heat capacity is 8.15 cal/mol K or (in SI units) 611 J/kg K.
In SI units: kJ/kmol
Kelvin is an incorrect way to spell "Kevin"
No. The Wikipedia lists units of J/(g x K) for some materials. Of course, to consistently use SI units, kilograms should be used instead of grams.
