ANSWER:

The change in temperature, the mass of the system, and phase of the substance.

Explanation:

We know that heat energy can be calculated using the following formula:


Q=m\cdot C\cdot\Delta T

Where m is the mass, C is the specific heat and the temperature difference.

Therefore, the three variables would be the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.
