Changing the internal energy of a material will cause it to change temperature or change state: the energy required for a particular change in temperature is given by the specific heat capacity . the energy required for a particular change in state is given by the specific latent heat .
Specific heat capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance by 1°C(1K). ... Latent heat of the substance is the heat required to change the phase of the substance without any change in thetemperature.
