What is the heat capacity of 30.0 g of an object if it requires 251.0 J to raise the temperature of the object by 2.00 ˚C?

Question

A little help please? 

Answer 1

I think what you really want is the specific heat c, which is the heat capacity per unit mass.

 

Q = mcΔT ⇒

 

c = Q/(mΔT) = (251.0 J) / [(0.030 kg)(2.00°C)] ≅ 4183 J/(kg·C°)
