Heat Transfer/ Specific Heat Problems. Steps on how to do it please.

Question

8750 J of heat are applied to a piece of aluminum, causing a 56.0 oC increase in its temperature. The specific heat of aluminum is 0.9025 J/g x oC. What is the mass of the aluminum?

Answer 1

Q = mcΔT is the equation for how heat into a substance causes its temperature to rise.

Rearrange algebraically : m = Q/(mΔT)

All the units mesh (This is critical to always check with these problems), so plug-and-chug and the answer will be in grams.
