Solution

The specific heat capacity (c) of a substance can be calculated using the formula:

Q = mcΔT

where: Q = heat energy absorbed or released (in joules, J) m = mass of the substance (in kilograms, kg) c = specific heat capacity (in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius, J/kg°C) ΔT = change in temperature (in degrees Celsius, °C)

In this case, we are given: Q = 16,632 J m = 0.7 kg ΔT = 30 °C

We are asked to find c. Rearranging the formula to solve for c gives us:

c = Q / (mΔT)

Substituting the given values into this formula gives us:

c = 16,632 J / (0.7 kg * 30 °C) = 793.90476 J/kg°C

So, the specific heat capacity of the glass is approximately 793.9 J/kg°C.
