Three things that dictate quantity of heat transferred to or from an object when its temperature changes

1. The quantity of the material




2. The size of the temperature change




3. The identity of the substance gaining or losing heat

Specific heat capacity (C)

the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one Kelvin (or degree Celsius).


The unit is joules/gram(Kelvin) - J/g(K).

q = mC∆T

Used when only given information about the substance




q = heat transferred (in joules)


m = mass of the substance (in grams)


C = specific heat capacity (in J/g(K))


∆T = change in temperature (in K) = Tfinal – Tinitial

mC∆T = - mC∆T

Used when two substances come in contact with each other.

Joules in 1 L⋅atm

How many J of heat are necessary to raise the temperature of a 1.05−kg block of iron from 26.0∘C to 85.5∘C?




Knowing the specific heat of iron metal is 0.450 J/g⋅K.

q = mC∆T


q = 1050gFe * 0.450 * (59.5 ∆Kelvin)


q = 28100 J
