Concept introduction:

The specific heat of a material is referred to as the quantity of heat used to raise the temperature by $1°\text{C}$

for $1\text{ g}$ of that material.

The heat related with the change in temperature of a material is determined as

$q=sm\Delta T$

Here q represents heat, s signifies specific heat, m represents mass, and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature of the material.
