The heat required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of sample to a specific temperature change, we use the formula mCpΔT where m is mass, Cp is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the temperature change. In this case, we substitute and form 6.2 x102 g x 0.21 cal/g C *20 C equal to 2604 calories.
