is this the correct way to find specific heat
it might be a little differnt then the actual book equation but is this correct?
Specific Heat= heat capacity/mass
To find the heat capacity: Heat Capacity= quantity (J)/delta T
delta T=(final temp/initial temp)
I found the specific heat for water as follows:
Heat capacity= 67200J/57.7-22 deg C
= 1882.352941 J/deg C
Specific Heat= 1882.352941 J/deg C / 459 g
Specific Heat= 4.1009868
