MC Delta T
And it's M, C, Delta T!
That's calorimetry dawg.
MC Delta T is a formula that calculates the specific heat of a substance. It's used in calorimetry.
Q = MCDeltaT, where Q is the heat energy in joules/calories, M is the mass in grams, C is the specific heat in calories or joules per Celsius gram, and Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance.
Here's a calorimetry sample problem.
