 NIST Guide to SI Units - 9 Rules and Style Conventions for Spelling Unit Names
When the name of a derived unit formed from other units by division is spelled out, the word "per" is used and not a solidus.
When the names of units raised to powers are spelled out, modifiers such as "squared" or "cubed" are used and are placed after the unit name.
/V is usually spelled out as "three coulomb meter squared per volt." However, a "single" unit may be plural; for example, the value 5 kPa is spelled out as "five kilopascals," although "five kilopascal" is acceptable.

In forming compound names division is indicated by per, while in the corresponding symbols it is permissible to use either a negative index or a solidus (oblique stroke or slash); thus the SI: unit of velocity is a metre per second and the corresponding symbol is m s-l or m/s.
Note: Decimal multiples and submultiples of the kilogram should be formed by attaching the appropriate SI prefix and symbol to gram and g, not to kilogram and kg.
The combination of the symbols for a prefix and unit is regarded as a single symbol which may be raised to a power without the use of parentheses.

Temperature: Measuring the heat capacity of water produces different results if the starting point is 20 °C rather than 60 °C. Therefore the temperature at which the measurement was conducted must be specified for the value to be useful.
Intermolecular forces: Strong intermolecular forces combined joule per kilogram-kelvin with a disordered state (such as hydrogen bonding in liquid water) are likely to increase the heat capacity of a substance.
In the case of an ideal gas, intermolecular forces are absent from the system, and the specific heat capacity is independent of pressure.
