A piece of copper with a mass of 218 g has a heat capacity of 83.9 j/°c. what is the specific heat of copper?

The answer to this question would be: 0.385 j/g°c

Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to increase 1 degree of celcius per one gram of a specific mass. In this question, it needs 83.9 j/°c energy to increase the temperature of 218 g copper. Then, the specific heat would be: (83.9 j/°c) / 218g = 0.38486 j/g°c
