## Specific Heat Capacity
Specific heat capacity is the energy needed to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree.
### Formula
**c = Q / (m * DeltaT)**
Rearranging Q = mcDeltaT to solve for c. This is useful in calorimetry experiments.

Exemple Résolu
4186 J raises 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.
- c = Q / (m * DeltaT)
- c = 4186 / (1 * 1)
- c = 4186 J/(kg·°C)
- This matches water's specific heat capacity.
