What's The Difference In These Equations

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-01] [Hit: ]
.Do they mean the same or have I made a mistake?PS - Im only at GCSE so please translate anything you say to my level as opposed to scientific jargon ;)-Yes, they mean the same thing.Q in chemistry means the amount of heat energy.E in physics refers to an amount of energy.......
1) E= MCxTheta
and
2) Q = MC(delta)T

Can someone verify if this is correct...

1) Energy transferred = mass x specific heat capacity x temp change
... But in my notes it says they're both that ^ (number 2 was in physics and number 1 in chemistry and physics)
Do they mean the same or have I made a mistake?

Yes, they mean the same thing.
Q in chemistry means the amount of heat energy.
E in physics refers to an amount of energy.
The equations mean the same thing, just conventionally chemists use the symbol Q.
