The ratio of specific heat capacity to molar heat capacity of a body

Ais a universal constant
Bdepends on the mass of the body
Cdepends on the molecular weight of the body
Correct Answer
Dis dimensionless

Solution

Specific heat capacity(C) is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by 1K.
Molar heat capacity(s) is the amount of heat required per mole to raise the temperature by 1K.
Thus $$\dfrac{C}{s}=\dfrac{moles}{mass}=\dfrac{1}{M_o}$$
