A sample of aluminum (c = 0.900 J/g°C) is heated from 20.8°C to 38.7 °C using 3,750 J of energy. What is the mass of the aluminum sample?
Expert Solution
Given

* Specific heat capacity of  aluminium ;

C = 0.900 J/g°C 

* ∆T = change in temperature = T2 - T1

T2 =  38.7 °C ( Final temperature )

T1 =  20.8°C ( initial Temperature )

∆T =  38.7 °C -  20.8°C 

∆T = 17.9 °c

 

Q = heat absorbed = 3,750 J

M = mass of aluminium sample
