An unknown metal with a mass of 260 g has a heat capacity of 100 J/oC. What is the specific heat of the metal?
I am stuck finding the right equation, knowing that the mass is 260 g and heat is 100 J per Celsius.
Thus, going with the equation, q=msT, the equation should fit in like this 100 = 260st, however I am not sure about the final temperate (t) and the question is asking for specific heat (s). Where did I go wrong?

divide 100J/C by mass, and you will havespecifice heat capacity

I thought that was the case too, sorry if I am overthinking it and thank you!
