The SiC here is the chemical formula for silicon carbide. At the given temperature, the compound is in solid form. The heat needed to heat up the element from T₁ to T₂ is calculated through the equation,
ΔH = ncp(T₂ - T₁)
where ΔH is enthalpy, n is the number of moles, cp is the specific heat. From reliable source, the specific heat of the silicon carbide is equal to 1.34 J/mol°C.
