Specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram ... You are expected to be able to use this relationship in calculating the heat gained, or the heat lost by a substance.

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, 4.18 kJ kg-1 ˚C-1 \(m\) is the mass of water (in kg ...

But our favorite part comes at about 12:00 when he takes us through some rough math in calculating heat sinks. We’ve always just guessed, but like any good teacher, [Dave] explains the theory ...
