Iron has a heat capacity of 0.45 J/g/◦C. If a
100 g sample of iron at an initial temperature of 50◦C absorbs 400 J of energy, what is the new temperature of the metal? Assume no
phase transition occurs.
1. 58.9◦C
2. 95.0◦C
3. 41.1◦C
4. 939◦C
5. 8.89◦C

See your previous post. You now know specific heat Fe but solve for delta T. Then you know delta T = T final - T initial.
