When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature 
the heat (energy) you must give to it is
where
is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin) because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin
