    The answer to your question is C = 1.046 J/g°C

    Explanation:

    Data

    Specific heat = ?

    mass = 36 g

    ΔT = 18°C

    Q = 678 J

    To calculate the specific heat, use the formula of heat and solve it for C

    Formula

    Q = mCΔT

    Solve for C

    C = Q / mΔT

    Substitution

    C = 678 / (36 x 18)

    Simplification

    C = 678 / 648

    Result

    C = 1.046 J/g°C
