Question

Determine the temperature change when 150. G block of gold is supplied with 1.00 • 10 ^3 J of heat

Answer 1

Answer:

∇T = 51.68°C

Explanation:

Mass = 150g

Heat Energy (Q) = 1.0*10³J

Change in temperature ∇T = ?

Q = mc∇T

Q = heat energy

M = mass

C = specific heat capacity of the gold = 0.129j/g°C

∇T = change in temperature

Q = Mc∇T

1.0*10³ = 150 * 0.129 * ∇T

1000 = 19.35∇T

Solve for ∇T

∇T = 1000 / 19.35

∇T = 51.679°C = 51.68°C

The change in temperature of gold was 51.68°C
