Specific Heat:

The specific Heat of a solid or liquid can be usually defined as heat required for raising unit mass through one degree temperature rise. That is,

dQ = mcdT;

dQ = mC_pdT; For reversible non flow process at the constant pressure;

dQ = mC_vdT; For reversible non flow process at the constant volume;
C_p = Heat capacity at the constant pressure

C_v = Heat capacity at the constant volume
