Heat Energy vs Mass

Heat Transfer (Q = mcDeltaT)

The heat energy needed to change the temperature of a substance depends on its mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature change.

Formula

Q = m * c * DeltaT

where m is mass (kg), c is specific heat capacity (J/(kg·°C)), and DeltaT is the temperature change.

Example Calculation

Heating 1 kg of water from 20°C to 70°C (DeltaT = 50°C).

  1. 01Q = m * c * DeltaT
  2. 02Q = 1 * 4186 * 50
  3. 03Q = 209,300 J
  4. 04Q = 209.3 kJ
