Title: Understanding Specific Heat Capacity---The specific heat capacity of a pure substance can be found by dividing the heat needed to change the temperature of a sample of the substance by the mass of the sample and by the change in temperature. The heat capacity of a certain substance has been measured to be 4.97 joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C). Suppose 288.8 grams (g) of the substance are heated until the temperature of the sample has changed by 7.81 degrees Celsius (°C).Write an equation that will let you calculate the heat (Q) that was needed for this temperature change. Your equation should contain only symbols. Be sure you define each symbol.---**Definitions of your symbols:**- \( \theta = 7.81^\circ \text{C} \)- \( c = 4.97\ \text{J/g}^\circ \text{C} \)- \( m = 288.8\ \text{g} \)---**Your equation:**\[ Q = c \cdot m \cdot \theta \]---This content explains the concept of specific heat capacity and how to determine the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of a given mass of a substance by a certain amount.
