How much heat, in kilojoules is needed to raise the temperature of 236 g of silver from 8. 5 degrees celsius to 34. 9 degrees celsius. (cag = 0. 24 j/g degrees celsius)

Respuesta :

The heat needed to raise the temperature is 1.49kJ.

What is specific heat?

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

By the formula

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where, Q = amount of heat (joules)

m = mass (g) 236 gram

c = specific heat of silver, 0.24 J/g°C

∆T = change in temperature (°C) 8.5 to 34.9

∆T = T2 - T1 = 34.9 - 8.5 = 26.4°C

Putting the value in the equation

Q = 236 × 0.24 × 26.4

Q = 1,495.3 Joules

Thus, heat needed to raise the temperature is 1.49kJ.
