Give the $SI$ unit of heat capacity. Write the dimensional formula of heat capacity.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is temperature dependent and is given by the formula $C = kT$,where $k$ is a constant of suitable dimensions in $SI$ units,and $T$ is the absolute temperature. If the heat required to raise the temperature of $1 \ kg$ of the substance from $-73^{\circ} C$ to $27^{\circ} C$ is $nk$,the value of $n$ is. . . . . . [Given: $0 \ K = -273^{\circ} C$.]

The specific heat of a substance varies with temperature as $c = 0.20 + 0.14t + 0.023t^2 \, (cal/g \cdot ^\circ C)$. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of $2 \, g$ of the substance from $5 \, ^\circ C$ to $15 \, ^\circ C$ is: (in $, cal$)

The heat energy released by water of mass $2 \,kg$ when it is cooled by $10^{\circ} C$ is (Specific heat capacity of water $= 4200 \,J \,kg^{-1} \,K^{-1}$) (in $\,J$)
