The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C. Different substances have different specific heat ...

is calculated using the following equation: \({E_h} = cm\Delta T\) \({E_h}\) is the heat energy released (in kJ or kJ mol-1) \(c\) is the specific heat capacity of water. It is a constant ...
