The specific heat capacity of a substance if 300 j are required to raise the temperature of 207 g by 12 degrees is calculated using the formula below

Q=Mc deltaT
Q(heat required) = 300 j
M(mass) =207g
c(specific heat capacity) = ?
delta t(change in temperature)= 12 c

by making c the subject of the formula

C= Q/ M delta T

C= 300 j/ 267 g x 12 c = 0.0936 j/g/c
