How to calculate Specific Heat

Learn how to calculate the specific heat and how much heat needs to be applied in order to raise the temperature of an object.
The formula for specific heat equals Q = m * c * T
Q = Heat
m = mass
c = specific heat
T = change in temperature This is calculated using final temperature - Initial Temperature

Sample problem
How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 55 grams of ethyl alcohol from 10°to 80° celsius if the specific heat of ethyl alcohol is 2.4 j/g c°?
