Find c for 455 grams of metal that gives off 1638 J while changing temperature by 6C.

c = 0.6 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat is given by the formula;

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Mass = 455 g

Heat = 1638 J

ΔT = 6 °C

Therefore;

1638 J = 455 g * c * 6

c = 1638 / (455*6)

c = 0.6 J/g°C
