Magnetite, Fe3O4, is another ore of iron that contains both Fe2+ and Fe3+.

Iron has a relatively small specific heat capacity; the temperature of a 50 g sample rises by 44.4°C when it absorbs 1 kJ of heat energy.

Determine the specific heat capacity of iron, in J g−1 K−1. Use section 1 of the data booklet.
