So I have summer work and I'm not sure if i am doing this right, even though it's easy! Someone please tell me. This is the question:
Specific Heat= Heat energy / (mass)X(chane in temperature)
or
q
-------- =Cp
(m)(T)
How would the formula look if you were solving for mass (m)?

q
-------- = Cp
(m)(T)
First, multiply both sides by m so that you can get it in the numerator instead of the denominator (the top of the fraction instead of the bottom)
q
-------- = (Cp)(m)
(T)
Then divide both sides by (Cp) to isolate the (m)
q
-------- = m
(T)(Cp)
The above is the final formula and the formula you would want to use if you were trying to solve for m

That couldn't be more simple , I am surprised that you are asking this.
Mass= (Heat Energy) /(Specific Heat x change in temperature)
m= q/ Cp x T

The formulae would b
m= Q/c * C
ie
heat absorbed <divided by> specific heat capacity*rise in temperature.
mark the answer as best answer.
