The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius. The relationship between the amount of heat gained or released by a substance and the change in temperature of the substance is given by the equation ?=??Δ?q=m⁢s⁢Δ⁢T where ?q is the heat gained or released, ?m is the mass of the substance, ?s is the specific heat of the substance, and Δ?Δ⁢T is the change in temperature. 1.
