<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.89 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Mass of the aluminium sample is 120 g
  • Quantity of heat absorbed by aluminium sample is 9612 g
  • Change in temperature, ΔT = 115°C - 25°C

                                                      = 90°C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity;

  • We need to know that the quantity of heat absorbed is calculated by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is;

Q = m × c × ΔT

  • Therefore, rearranging the formula we can calculate the specific heat capacity of Aluminium.

Specific heat capacity, c = Q ÷ mΔT

                                         = 9612 J ÷ (120 g × 90°C)

                                         = 0.89 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of Aluminium is  0.89 J/g°C

A 1.2 kg block of iron at 32 ∘C is rapidly heated by a torch such that 12 kJ is transferred to it. What temperature would the bl
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

For iron

Final temperature = 54,22°C

For copper

Final Temperature = 63.67 °C

Explanation

Hello,

You are using a torch to warm up a block of iron that has an initial temperature of 32°C.

The first you have to know is that the "heat capacity" could simply define as the heat required to go from an initial temperature to a final temperature.

So you need to use the heat capacity equation as follow in the paper.

The equation has to have all terms in the same units, so:

q = 12000 J

s = 0.450 J / g °C

m = 1200 g

Ti = 32 °C
