The specific heat of Aluminum is C = Q/mΔT.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

Specific heat is the amount of energy required for 1 kg on substance to change its temperature by 1 degree C.

The heat gained or lost by an object to the temperature changes of that object.

Q = m•C•∆T

where, m is the mass of Aluminum, C is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Specific heat of Aluminum is

C = Q/mΔT

By knowing the other values of the quantities, we can calculate the specific heat.
