orcailueo oare secul f energy would be required to heat 242

orcailueo oare secul f energy would be required to heat 242 g of carbon from 23.6°C to 54.2°C (specific heat capacity of carbon-0.71 J/g°C)?

Solution

Q = m * C * delta T

where, Q = heat energy

m = mass

C = specific heat capacity

delta T = T2 - T1

Q = 24.2 * 0.71 * (54.2 - 23.6)

Q = 24.2 * 0.71 * 30.6 = 526 J

Therefore, Q = 526 J
