Answer
To use = mcΔT, identify the mass (m) in grams or kilograms, specific heat capacity (c) in J/(g·°C) or J/(kg·°C), and temperature change (ΔT = T_final - T_initial). Multiply these three values to find the heat energy () transferred. For example, heating 100g of water by 10°C reuires = 100 × 4.18 × 10 = 4,180 joules.
