To calculate the heat capacity of aluminum, we can use the formula:q = mcTwhere q is the heat energy absorbed  in Joules , m is the mass of the substance  in grams , c is the specific heat capacity  in J/gC , and T is the change in temperature  in C .We are given the mass  m = 25 g , the initial and final temperatures  25C and 100C , and the heat energy absorbed  q = 750 J . We need to find the specific heat capacity  c .First, let's find the change in temperature  T :T = T_final - T_initialT = 100C - 25CT = 75CNow, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the specific heat capacity  c :c = q /  mT Plugging in the given values:c = 750 J /  25 g  75C c = 750 J / 1875 gCc = 0.4 J/gCThe heat capacity of the 25 grams of aluminum is 0.4 J/gC.
