Question

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 100 g of aluminum from 30°C to 150°C?

Answer 1

Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the

change in temperature. It is expressed as:

Energy = mCAT

Energy = 100 (0.90) (150 - 30)

Energy = 10800 J
