Thank you for posting your question to the Ask Me Help Desk.
The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C.
This means it will take energy in the amount of one calorie to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
This is a relatively high specific heat compared to other substances.

specific heat capacity = energy required to change the tempature of 1kg block by 1 degree that's exact
