📊 Calculation Breakdown

Parameter Value Description

How the formula works

Q = m · c · ΔT  |  ΔT = T_final − T_initial
  • Q = Heat energy (Joules)
  • m = Mass of the substance (kg)
  • c = Specific heat capacity (J/kg·K)
  • ΔT = Change in temperature (K or °C)
  • Specific Heat = Amount of heat needed to raise 1 kg by 1 K
  • Water = 4186 J/kg·K, Copper = 385 J/kg·K, Aluminum = 900 J/kg·K
