The specific heat is 0.401 J/(g x C). The specific heat is the amount of heat of one unit mass of an object required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The specific amount can be calculated using Cp = Q/(m x changes in T) formula, where Cp is the specific heat, Q is the amount of heat, m is the object's mass, and changes in T is the changes in temperature<span>.</span>
