Specific heat is a physical property of matter. All matter has a temperature associated with it. Matter is a measurment of the motion molecules. The more energy the matter has the higher the temperature, the less the lower the temperature. You can find more information here: http://www.iun.edu/~cpanhd/C101webnotes/...

The formula for specific heat is: Q = m * c * δ(T). δ is the Greek letter delta.c can sometimes be characterized as Cp, and is the specific heat.Q is the amount of heat and energy added, not to be confused with the specific heat.m is the mass.δ(T) is the final temperature minus the initial temperature, or change in temperature.To solve for c, you just need to modify the equation as such: c = Q / (m * δ(T))
