Expert Solution
Step 1

The amount of heat absorbed or released is related to specific heat capacity as,

                                                                       q = m c ∆T

  Where, q is amount of heat energy required or released by the substance

              m is mass of the substance

              c is specific heat capacity

            ∆T is change in temperature = Tfinal - Tinitial

Thus, q = m c (Tfinal - Tinitial )
