Calorimetry Calculations

For the formula:
 Q= m c ∆T
The  units for specific heat are:

• g /J C
• °C/g J
• kJ/g
• J/g°C

What would be the effect on the particles if more heat is supplied to the system?

• They would slow down
• They would stop moving
• They would speed up
• There would be no effect
