    The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius
