Question

If 10.5 g of iron, at 25°C, absorbs 128 J of heat, what will be the final temperature of metal? (The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J g-1 °C-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

27.5°C = Final Temperature of the metal

Explanation:

The change in temperature using the specific heat of a material could be obtained using the formula:

Q = m*S*ΔT

Where Q is heat absorbed in Joules = 128J in the problem

m is the mass of the substance = 10.5g

S is Specific Heat of the substance = 0.449J/g°C for Iron

ΔT is change in temperature = Final T - Initial T

Replacing:

128J = 10.5g*0.449J/g°C*ΔT

2.5°C = ΔT

2.5°C = Final T - 25°C

27.5°C = Final Temperature of the metal
