Determine the amount of energy (heat) in joules required to raise the temperature of 20g of gold from 5°C to 37°C.

The answer to your question is E = 83.2 J

Explanation:

Data

Element: Gold

Initial temperature = T1 = 5°C

Final temperature = T2 = 37°C

mass = 20 g

Specific heat = 130 J/kg°K

Process

1.- Convert temperature to kelvin

T1 = 273 + 5 = 278°K

T2 = 273 + 37 = 310°K

2.- Convert mass to kg

             1000 g 1 kg

                 20 g x

                 x = (20 x 1)/1000

                 x = 0.02 kg

3.- Formula

E = mC(T2 -T1)

4.- Substitution

E = (0.02)(130)(310 - 278)

E = (0.02)(130)(32)

E = 83.2 J

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §
