How much heat is needed to raise the temperature by 2.00oC for a metal with a specific heat of 0.780 J/goC and a mass of 45 grams?

Question

I would appreciate the help on this question

Answer 1

The formula you need to use is

q = mC∆T

q = heat = ?

m = mass = 45 g

C = specific heat = 0.780 J/gº

∆T = change in temperature = 2.00º

Solving for q, we have ...

q = (45 g)(0.780 J/gº)(2.00º)

q = 70.2 J (J = joules)
