Now by rearranging the specific key capacity given above, we can solve for the amount of heat released or absorbed. Here our new specific heat capacity formula becomes Q=MC∆T for all of you pre Med track students.
We usually say that this is equal to Q=MCAT and we know that the MCAT is an important exam before you matriculate into medical school, so use that to help you remember it. So Q=MCAT is our new formula to help us determine and relate the specific key capacity to the amount of heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction.
