How much heat will be absorbed by a 63.1 g piece of aluminum (specific heat = 0.930 J/g・°C) as it changes temperature from 23.0°C to 67.0°C?

Answer:

[tex]Q=2582J=2.58kJ[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for us to compute the absorbed heat, we apply the following equation:

[tex]Q=m_{Al}Cp_{Al}(T_2-T_1)[/tex]

Whereas we use the mass, specific heat and temperature change for the piece of aluminium, thus, we obtain:

[tex]Q=63.1g*0.930\frac{J}{g*\°C}*(67.0-23.0)\°C\\ \\Q=2582J=2.58kJ[/tex]

It is positive as the heat is entering, therefore the temperature raises.

Best regards.
