Answer: Formula: q = mcΔT,

- q is the amount of heat transferred

- m is the mass of the substance

- c is the specific heat capacity of the substance

- ΔT is the change in temperature

q= 733 J

m= 312g

ΔT = 15 °C

Calculate this together = 733 J / 312g x 15 °C

= and then you can find your answer for c.
