Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • The heat energy transferred to a system depends on three factors temperature change, the mass of the system, and the substance undergoing the temperature change.

 

  • The quantitative relationship between heat energy and the three factors is given by,

Q=mcΔT

Here m is the mass of the system, c is the specific heat, and Δis the change in temperature due to the energy change.
