Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given amount of the substance by 1 degree Celsius. 
The heat capacity (C) can be calculated using:
C = m * specific heat
where m is the mass of the substance.
In this case, 
m = 0.185 kg
specific heat = 4.184 J/g × °C = 4184 J/kg × °C
C = 0.185 kg * 4184 J/kg × °C = 774 J/°C. 
Therefore, the answer is A, 774 J/°C.

The Specific Heat of Water Is 4
