Question

229.2 g of tin was heated from 46.3 to 115.7°C. How much energy was used to heat tin? (Specific heat capacity of Sn is 0.222 J/g x °C)

Answer 1

3531.23 J is the energy used to heat tin when 229.2 g of tin was heated from 46.3 to 115.7°C.

What is specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases by 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C).

Q=mcΔT

Give data:

m=229.2 g

c=0.222 J/g x °C

ΔT=115.7°C - 46.3°C

ΔT= 69.4 °C

Putting value in the equation:

Q=mcΔT

Q=229.2 g x 0.222 J/g°C x 69.4 °C

Q= 3531.23 J

Hence, 3531.23 J is the energy used to heat tin.
