what units do we use for mass when calculating specific heat capacity? specific heat capacity is measured in j/kg ºc.

When calculating specific heat capacity, the mass is measured in kilograms (kg). Specific heat capacity itself is measured in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C) or joules per kilogram per kelvin (J/kg·K). Thus, the unit for mass used in these calculations is kilograms to keep consistency in the units of specific heat capacity.
