See explanation.

Explanation:

The specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a mass unit of the substance by 1 degree Kelvin.

Example:

The specific heat of water at 20^oC is c_p=4182 J/(kgK).

This means that to increase the temperature of 1kg of water from 20^oC to 21^oC you have to add 4182J of energy
