4.200 calories. The formula is rise in heat (H) = the specific heat capacity (c) * rise in heat in degrees Fahrenheit (T) and volume of liquid (m). H = cTm. Water, the typical comparison, has a specific heat capacity of 1. So to raise the Fahrenheit temperature of 105 grams of water 40 degrees, you multiply 105 * 40 * 1 = 4,200.
