    What does q represent in the specific heat equation?

    Indicates the amount of heat energy transferred.

    What does a positive value of q indicate?

    Heat is absorbed by the substance.

    What does a negative value of q indicate?

    Heat is released from the substance.

    What does m stand for in the specific heat equation?

    The mass of the substance being heated.

    What is c in the specific heat equation?

    A constant unique to each substance that measures heat capacity.

    How is specific heat capacity measured?

    In J/g •° C or J/kg · K.

    What does AT represent in the specific heat equation?

    The change in temperature of the substance.

    How do you calculate AT?

    By subtracting Tinitial from T final.

    What happens if the mass of a substance increases while keeping q constant?

    The temperature change will decrease.

    How does specific heat capacity affect temperature change?

    Higher specific heat capacity results in smaller temperature changes for the same heat energy.
