The differnce is in the amount of matter.
Specific heat is defined as the heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by one degree (K or C).
Molar heat is defined as the heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 Mole of the substance by one degree (K or C).
Example:
Iron has a specific heat of
Since the molar mass of iron is 56 g/Mole, the molar heat will be
