    Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

    Heat = mC (T2-T1)

    1540 = 200.0 (C) (40 - 20)

    C = 0.385 J / g C

    Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
