Answer
Q = mcΔt
Reason — Thermal capacity is given by Q = mcΔt
where
- Q represents the heat transferred (in joules or calories).
- m represents the mass of the substance (in kilograms or grams).
- c represents the specific heat capacity of the substance (in joules per kilogram per °C or calories per gram per °C).
- Δt represents the change in temperature (in °C or Kelvin)
