Question

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 J/ g*C degrees and of iron is 0.45 J/g*C. How much energy was absorbed by each 1-gram sample? The temperature of 1 gram of aluminum rises 5.6 C degrees and the temperature of 1 gram of iron rises 11.1 C degrees.

Answer 1

q = mass x specific heat x delta T.
For Al:
q = 1 g x 0.90 x 5.6 = ?
Follow the same process for Fe.
