The specific heat capacity of methane gas is 2.20 J g^-1 K^-1. How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 5.00 g of methane from 36.0 °C to 75.0 °C?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat required can be calculated using the formula q = mcΔT, where m = 5.00 g, c = 2.20 J/g·K, and ΔT = 75.0 °C - 36.0 °C = 39.0 K. Thus, q = 5.00 g * 2.20 J/g·K * 39.0 K = 429 J.
