Pls help ty so much!

If 501 J of heat is available, how many grams
of iron (specific heat = 0.45 J/g °C) can be
heated from 22.5°C to 120.0°C?

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:mass = 11.42 \:\: grams

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: Q = ms\Delta T


  • \textsf{Q = heat evolved/absorbed = 501 J}


  • \textsf{m = mass in gram = ?}


  • \textsf{s = specific heat = 0.45}


  • \textsf{ΔT = change in temp = 120 - 22.5 =97.5°C}


\large\textsf{Find m : }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 501 = m \sdot(0.45) \sdot(97.5)


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 501 = m \sdot43.875


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: m = (501)/(43.875)


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: m \approx11.42 \: \: g
