Here are some sample problems worked out, to show you how specific heat capacity works. C = represents specific heat capacity in J/(kg degC) E = represents energy in J M = represents mass in kg T = represents the amount of change in temperature in Celsius degrees 'Calculate the specific heat capacity of a substance if it takes 2000J of energy to raise the temperature of 500g of the substance from 22 deg C to 102 deg C' 
'A certain gas has a specific heat capacity of 500; find the energy needed to raise 6 kg of the gas from 20 deg C to 50 deg C'
