The specific heat capacity of a pure substance can be found by dividing the heat needed to change the temperature of a sample of the substance by the mass of J the sample and by the change in temperature. The heat capacity of a certain substance has been measured to be 1.83 Suppose 366. g of the substance g °C are heated until the temperature of the sample has changed by 12.2 °C. Write an equation that will let you calculate the heat O that was needed for this temperature change. Your equation should contain only symbols. Be sure you define each symbol.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The specific heat of the substance states that 1.83 Joule of heat is needed for an increase in temperature of one gram of the substance by one degree centigrade.

The mass of the substance is = 366. g

An increase in the temperature of the substance is =12.2oC
