How to find specific heat of a turpentine question?
A copper cylinder has a mass of 76.8 g and a specific heat of 0.092 cal/g ⁰C. It is heated to 86.5⁰ C and then put in 68.7 g of turpentine whose temperature is 19.5 ⁰ C. The final temperature of the mixture is 31.9⁰ C. What is the specific heat of the turpentine? Use the formula Q1=Q2 -> mATc =mATc. Provide correct units and show work.

Could you comment the formula? There seems to be a missprint.
Q1=Q2 -> mATc= mATc. The A is like a triangle but I can't produce the triangle on my phone
