1. No. the first law of thermodynamics does not imply directionality in nature. It cannot tell about the heat transfer process that is the process of heat transfer from cold object to hot object and the conversion of heat energy cannot be interpreted by the first law of thermodynamics. It only quantifies the energy amount. 2. Specific heat capacity can be defined as the temperature required to increase the temperature of any substance of unit mass.
