How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 11.3 grams of solid graphite from 24.5 C to 36.0 C?

Answer 1

q = mC∆T

q = heat = ?

m = mass = 11.3 g

C = specific heat = 0.72 J/g/degree (look it up in a table)

∆T = change in temperature = 36 - 24.5 = 11.5º

q = (11.3 g)(0.72 J/g/deg)(11.5 deg) = 93.6 J
