mass in q = m(c) delta t

[Lauryn Jordan 1F]

when must you covert the g to moles when using the equation for specific heat?

[SitharaMenon2B]

Specific heat capacity always uses grams, while molar heat capacity uses moles. So for specific heat capacity you would never need to convert to moles.

[204932558]

Molar heat capacity uses J/Kg.M as the unit.

[Warda Sahib 2J]

Specific heat capacity uses grams while Molar heat capacity uses moles

When asked for in the question

[Cynthia Bui 2H]

Depends on the heat capacity you use. Always write out your units to make sure you're using the right value!
