Calculate the energy absorbed when 6.20 g of aluminum is heated from 10.0°C to 65.0°C if the specific heat of aluminum is 0 .900 J/g°C

Respuesta :

Answer:

The energy absorbed when 6.20 grams of aluminum is heated from 10.0°C to 65.0°C is 306.9 Joules.

Explanation:

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T=mc\times (T_2-T_1)[/tex]

Where:

Q = heat absorbed  or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

[tex]T_1,T_2[/tex] : Initial and final temperature of the substance

We have mass of aluminium = m = 6.20 g

Specific heat of aluminium= c = 0.900 J/g°C

Initial and final temperature of the aluminium [tex]T_1=10.0^oC [/tex]

Final temperature of the aluminium = [tex]T_2=65.0^oC[/tex]

Heat absorbed by the aluminium:

[tex]Q=6.20 g\times 0.900J/g^oC\times (65.0^oC-10.0^oC)=306.9 J[/tex]

The energy absorbed when 6.20 grams of aluminum is heated from 10.0°C to 65.0°C is 306.9 Joules.
