How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 30.0 g of aluminum from 22°C to 80°C, if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 J/g°C?

There are 1566 joules of heat needed to raise the temperature of 30.0 g of aluminum from 22°C to 80°C, if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 30.0 g

Specific heat =

Formula used to calculate the heat energy requires is as follows.

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

= initial temperature

= final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that there are 1566 joules of heat needed to raise the temperature of 30.0 g of aluminum from 22°C to 80°C, if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 J/g°C.
