Answer:

C= 0.354 KJ/K

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that heat capacity is the product of mass and specific heat.Heat capacity is the measure of heat which any substance can retain a period os time.

Here given that specific heat(c) = 1.77 KJ/kg.k

Mass m= 200 gm = 0.2 kg

So the heat capacity C = m.c

C= 0.2 x 1.77 KJ/kg

C= 0.354 KJ/K

So the heat capacity 0.354 KJ/K.
