Question

The specific heat of gasoline is 2.22 J/g•°C. How much heat would it take to raise 35.0 G of gasoline to 3.00°C?

Answer 1

To find the amount of heat energy required to raise a substance by a certain number of degrees, we simply multiply: (specific heat * change in temperature * mass) Heat = 2.22 * 35 * 3 = 233.1 joules Therefore, we would need 233.1 joules of heat to raise the temperature by 3 degrees Celsius.
