q = mC∆T
q = heat = ?
m = mass = 138.45 g
C = specific heat = 0.235 J/gº (I looked this up so you may have a slightly different value)*
∆T = change in temperature = 162.5º - 11.8º = 150.7º
q = (138.45 g)(0.235 J/gº)(150.7º)
q = 4903 J
- This differs from the given answer because whoever solved the problem before must have used a different value for C
