if x grams of water takes up or releases same amount of heat as m grams of a substance for the same change in temperature, then
x is said to be the water equivalent of m grams of the substance!! :) :)
so..providing water equivalent of a substance is equivalent to giving Heat capaciity of the substance!! (NOT specific heat capacity...i said ONLY heat capacity!)
