Solution

Step 1
Given: Specific heat capacity $1.4 J g^{- 1} ° C^{- 1}$ and mass of a solid is $1.2 k g = 1200 g$
Find: Heat capacity
Step 2:
We know the formula of the concept as
Heat capacity = Mass× Specific heat capacity
$H e a t c a p a c i t y = 1200 \times 1.4 H e a t c a p a c i t y = 1680$
Hence, the heat capacity of solid is $1680 J ° C^{- 1}$
