Question

How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of aluminum from 10°C to 110°C, if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.95 J/g°C?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is 4750 J

Explanation:

As we know that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

here we know that

m = 50 g

$\Delta T = 110 - 10$

$\Delta T = 100 ^oC$

so we have

$Q = 50(0.95)(100)$

$Q = 4750 J$
