Dean Howell · Answer 1

No change in the specific heat.

Explanation:

Specific heat is an intrinsic property that it has not depend upon on the amount of substance or energy added, it depends upon the material.

So, when twice the amount of energy is transferred, specific heat of the material does not change rather the energy that is twice in the amount to 1 kg of that material cause it to warm 2.0° C.
