when a sample of aluminum absorbed 9.85 j of heat its temperature increased from 23.2 C to 30.5 C. The mass of the sample was__ g.

1 answer

q = mass x specific heat x delta T
9.85 J = mass Al x specific heat Al x (30.5 - 23.2)
You will need to look up the specific heat Al if it isn't given in the problem, substitute that into the equation and solve for mass Al.
