The equation for a phase change is
For a phase change you don't need the specific heat, just the heat of formation (which should be given to you. If not they are easy to find in your textbook or online).
However, you do need the specif heat when you are heating or cooling a substance within a phase (solid, liquid or gas). That equation looks like this:
