what is the specific heat of an unknown substance if 2000 j of energy are required to raise temperature of 4 grams of the substance 5 degrees celsius

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$Q = mc \Delta  t $$

$$2000  = (4)(c)(5 )$$

anonymous · Answer

solve for c.

anonymous · Answer

The t is a capital by the way $$T$$$$Q = mc \Delta T$$

Mebs is correct. Let me just define the variables in that formula he gave, since we all know that an equation is meaningless if you don't define your variables.
Q is the amount of energy.
m is the mass of the thing being heated.
c is the specific heat of the substance.
$\large \Delta t$ is the change in the temperature of the substance.
