A235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 j of heat to raise its temperature by 35 k. what is the specific heat of the metal? show your work.

When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by  following the formula

where m is the mass of the object and  is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have , and , so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
