How much heat, in joules, is necessary to raise the temperature of a 3.5g piece of aluminum from 22 degrees C to 37 degrees C? (J/g*C = 4.18 ; cal/g*c = 1.00)

Answer 1

Learn and apply this basic formula:

Q = M*C*(delta T)

Use the specific heat number (C) in J/(gC) to get the answer (Q, heat) in Joules.

"delta T" is the change in temperature, whjich is 15 C in this case.

M is the mass in grams.
