Molar Heat Capacity: The heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1°C is called the molar heat capacity of the substance. Molar heat capacity is an intensive property with SI system units of J mol-1 K-1. The molar heat capacity of elements is sometimes called the 'atomic heat capacity'.
