Answer:
We need 4.06 J to heat of 406.0 mg of cyclohexane
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of cyclohexane = 406.0 mg = 0.406 grams
The initial temperature = 33.5 °C
The final temperature = 38.9 °C
The specific heat of cyclohexane = 1.85 J/g*K
Step 2: Calculate the energy required to heat
Q = m*c*ΔT
⇒ with m = the mass of cyclohexane = 0.406 grams
⇒ with c = the specific heat of cyclohexane = 1.85J/g*K
⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 38.9 - 33.5 = 5.4
Q = 0.406 g * 1.85J/g*K * 5.40
Q = 4.06 J
We need 4.06 J to heat of 406.0 mg of cyclohexane
