3. How many grams of aluminum can be heated from 90°C to 120°C if 500 J of heat energy are applied?
(c = 0.900 J/g °C)

Respuesta :

TheSection

We are given:

Initial Temperature = 90°c

Final Temperature = 120°c

Heat applied(ΔH) = 500 Joules

Specific heat(c) = 0.9 Joules / g°C

Mass of Aluminium(m) = ?

Change in temperature:

ΔT = Final temp. - Inital Temp.

ΔT = 120 - 90

ΔT = 30°c

Calculating the mass:

We know the formula:

ΔH = mcΔT

replacing the values:

500 = m(0.9)(30)

500 = m(27)

m = 500/27

m = 18.52 grams
