A 1250.0 g piece of aluminum at -35.0°C receives 72.41 kJ of heat. If aluminum has a heat capacity of 0.90
calculate AT in °C. The melting point of Al is 660°C. Your answer must have the correct number of sig figs.

This problem is providing the mass, specific heat and melting point of aluminum and the amount of heat it receives in a heating process so it asks for the change in its temperature, which results in 64.36 °C.

Calorimetry

In chemistry, one can perform calorimetry calculations with the widely-known heat equation relating mass, specific heat, temperature and heat:

[tex]Q=mC\Delta T[/tex]

Thus, when having 1250.0 g of aluminum at -35.0 °C and supplying 72.41 kJ (72,410 J) of heat, we will be able to solve for the change in temperature by solving for it in the previous formula:

[tex]\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC} \\\\\Delta T=\frac{72,410J}{1250.0g*0.90\frac{J}{g\°C} } \\\\\Delta T=64.36\°C[/tex]

Which is not as high as for it to provoke a melting change, with the correct significant figures as 0.90 do not contribute to this for being a theoretical number.
