Why does Q represent energy and C represent specific heat?

Is Q or C symbolizing something from the Roman alphabet?


Or is it just a random choice? I need this for homework. HELP!

Why does Q represent energy and C represent specific heat?
C comes from Calorie...a measure of heat energy.
Reply:Q= Joules


and


c=4.18 (it ALWAYS equals 4.18)





Q=Mc delta T


thats a formula that measures energy....
