Answer:
Q = 63.75J
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass = 2.5g
Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C
Final temperature (T2) = 50°C
Specific heat capacity of Mg = 1.020J/g°C
Heat energy = ?
Heat Energy (Q) = mc∇T
Q = heat energy
M = mass of substance
C = specific heat capacity of substance
∇T = change in temperature = T2 - T1
Q = mc∇T
Q = mc(T2 - T1)
Q = 2.5 × 1.020 × (50 - 25)
Q = 2.55 × 25
Q = 63.75J
The heat energy required to raise magnesium metal from 25°C to 50°C is 63.75J
