3. How much Heat must be added to a 10 gram sample of Gold to increase itstemperature by 5 C. The Specific Heat of Gold is 0.13 J/g C



Answer :

Answer:

6.5Joules

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the amount of heat that must be added is expressed as:

[tex]Q=mc\triangle t[/tex]

where:

• m is the ,mass ,of the object

,

• c is the s,pecific heat capacity

,

• △t is the ,change in temperature

Given the following parameters

m = 10grams

c = 0.13 J/g C

△t = 5 C

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} Q=10\cancel{g}\times\frac{0.13J}{\cancel{g}^\cancel{^0C}}\times5\cancel{^0C}^ \\ Q=10\times0.13J\times5 \\ Q=1.3\times5 \\ Q=6.5Joules \end{gathered}[/tex]

This shows that 6.5Joules of heat must be added to a 10 gram sample of Gold to increase its temperature by 5 C.
