So it takes, 2.44 Joules of energy, to change 1 gram of ethanol by 1 degree Celsius.

Answer:

The specific heat capacity means the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of an element/compound by 1 degree Celsius.

Q = c m ΔT

when, m = 1 g

ΔT = 1°C

⇒Q = c ( specific heat )

Thus, specific heat of Ethanol 2.44 J/g °C means that 2.44 joules of heat energy is required to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius.
