# The pair of quantities that do not have the same dimensions is _________________.

latent heat, specific heat

##### SOLUTION
Specific heat is the energy required to change a unit mass of a material by $1^0C$. Unit of specific heat is Energy per unit mass per degree
Latent heat is the energy required to change the state (gas, liquid, solid) of a unit mass of material. Unit of latent heat is Energy per unit mass.
Since both latent heat and specific heat has same units, it has same dimension.
