The heat that is needed to raise the temperature of 78.4 g of aluminium from 19.4 °c to 98.6°c is 5600.77 j

calculation

Heat(Q) = mass(M) x specific heat capacity (C) x change in temperature(ΔT)


where;

Q=?

M = 78. 4 g

C=0.902 j/g/c

ΔT=98.6°c -19.4°c =79.2°c

Q is therefore = 78.4 g x 0.902 j/g/c x 79.2°c =5600.77 j
