Question

calculate the amount of heat required to heat a 3.9kg gold bar from 30°C to 60°C. The specific heat capacity of golf is 0.128J/gC°

Answer 1

14976J

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The formula to answer your question is q = mc(t1 - t2).

q= heat energy, m = mass, c = specific heat capacity, t1 = final temperature, and t2 = initial temperature.

2. Then, you need to convert the units.

c = 0.128 becomes 128 through something thats hard to type out.

3. You then plug in the variables.

q = 3.9 * 128(60 - 30)

4. Then you solve the equation and you should get q = 14976 J
