A piece of aluminum with a mass of 3.05 g initially at a temperature of 10.8 °C is heated to a temperature of 20.
Assume that the specific heat of aluminum is 0.901 J/(g°C).
How much heat was needed for this temperature change to take place?

Answer:

25.3J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminum  = 3.05g

Initial temperature  = 10.8 °C

Final temperature  = 20 °C

Specific heat  = 0.9J/g °C

Unknown:

Amount of heat needed for the temperature to change  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression:

       H  = m C Ф  

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

     H  = 3.05 x 0.901 x (20 - 10.8) = 25.3J
