Answer:
The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a given substance’s unit mass which is in a specific state, by a particular amount (usually 1°C) of temperature.
Specific heat capacity for ice, water and steam are as follows:
Ice: 2.108 kJ/kgK
Water: 4.187 kJ/kgK
Steam: 1.996 kJ/kgK
