(heat required) = (mass)(specific heat)(change in temperature); solve for mass.
The amount of heat needed to heat a subject from one temperature level to an other can be expressed as:

Q = cp m dT (2)

where

Q = amount of heat (kJ)

cp = specific heat (kJ/kg.K)

m = mass (kg)

dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K)
