Question

How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 55g sample of aluminum from 22.4 to 94.6?

Answer 1

The heat needed is given by Mcθ , where m is the mass in Kg, c is the heat capacity of aluminium, and θ is the change in temperature.
Specific heat capacity of aluminium is 0.9 j/g°c
thus; Heat = 55 × 0.9 × 72.2
= 3573.9 Joules or 3.574 kJ
