Answer:
Q = mCpΔT where Q is the energy in heat (joules), m is the mass (grams), Cp is the specific heat capacity (J/g/°C), and ΔT is the change in temperature (T2 - T1) in °C.
Explanation:
So, since Q = mCpΔT then m = Q/(CpΔT) or (45.0)/(0.780•2.00) = 45/1.56 = 28.846 grams. Since there are 3 sig figs, we round to:
m = 28.8 g
