TThe heat capacity of iron is 0.446 J/°C.How much heat is required to change the temperature of 5.00 grams of iron by 50.0°C?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the heat required, we use the formula:

q = m * c * ∆T

where:
q = heat required (in Joules)
m = mass of the substance (in grams)
c = specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g ºC)
∆T = change in temperature (in ºC)

Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:

q = 5.00 g * 0.446 J/g ºC * 50.0 ºC
q = 112 J

Therefore, the heat required to change the temperature of 5.00 grams of iron by 50.0°C is 112 J.
