(N/A) The amount of heat $Q$ required to change the temperature of a substance is given by the formula $Q = mc\Delta T$,where:
$1$. $m$ is the mass of the substance.
$2$. $c$ is the specific heat capacity of the material,which depends on the type of substance.
$3$. $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature.
Therefore,the required heat depends on the mass of the substance,the specific heat capacity (nature of the material),and the change in temperature.
