Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

By scientific question, it really just means create a normal question. The example would be:
How will gas be affected if the temperature in an enclosed container is to be changed?

There are mannnyyy ways how to write a question for this, you just have to make sure you write what you are changing and how you are changing it, oh and make it sound smart haha.
