To determine the heat capacity of aluminum, we can use the formula:q = mcTwhere q is the heat energy  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 following information:- q = 100.0 J- m = 50.0 g- T = 75C - 25C = 50CWe need to solve for c  the specific heat capacity of aluminum . Rearranging the formula, we get:c = q /  mT Now, we can plug in the given values:c = 100.0 J /  50.0 g  50C c = 100.0 J / 2500 gCc = 0.04 J/gCSo, the heat capacity of aluminum is 0.04 J/gC.
