The formula for calculating the amount of heat is expressed as;
[tex]Q=mc\triangle t[/tex]where:
• m is the ,mass, of the glass
,• c is the ,specific heat, of glass
,• △t is the ,change in temperature
Given the following parameters
m = 6.0g
Q = 12Joules
△t = 4.0 degrees C
Substitute
[tex]\begin{gathered} c=\frac{Q}{m\triangle t} \\ c=\frac{12J}{6g\times4.0^0C} \\ c=\frac{0.5J}{g^0C\text{ }} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the specific heat of the glass is 0.5J/g0C
