q = mass Au x specific heat Au x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
690.8 = 525 x 0.1290 x delta T.
Solve for delta T.
The specific heat capacity of gold at 25°C is 1.290×10-1 J/g/K.
For a 5.25×102 g sample of gold, how much will the temperature increase if 6.908×102 J of energy is put into the system?
(Assume that the heat capacity is constant over this temperature range.)
