Answer:
Q = 636.48 J
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of gold, m = 0.052 kg
The temperature increase from 30°C to 120°C.
The specific heat of gold is 136 J/kg °C.
We need to find the heat needed to warm the gold. The formula for heat needed is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=0.052\times 136\times (120-30)\\\\Q=636.48\ J[/tex]
So, 636.48 J of heat is needed to warm gold.
