Suppose a 14 gram sample of iron is heated from 20C to 25C The specific heat of iron is 0.11C How much heat energy was absorbed by the iron?

it depends on the units of the specific heat, but if they are J / goC then you would take your delta T (25-20) and multiply it by your mass (14g) and multiply by your specific heat. In this case it would be 5 * 14 * .11 = 7.7 (with whatever units of energy your specific heat is in.) Just make sure your units cancel out and you will get it right!


Is it correct that unit for specific heat capacity is meter square per second square per Celsius?

No. The Wikipedia lists units of J/(g x K) for some materials. Of course, to consistently use SI units, kilograms should be used instead of grams.
