QuestionHow much energy is needed to heat 10 g10 \mathrm{~g} of iron vs. aluminum by 1C1{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}?
CFe=0.450JgCCAl=0.900JgC \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{Fe}}=0.450 \frac{\mathrm{J}}{\mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \quad \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{Al}}=0.900 \frac{\mathrm{J}}{\mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}
A. Fe needs twice as much energy as Al B. Fe needs half as much energy as Al C. Fe needs 0.450 times less energy than Al D. Fe needs 0.450 times more energy than Al

Studdy Solution
Now that we have the energy required to raise the temperature of both substances by°C, we can compare these values to find the answer.
EnergyFeEnergyAl=4.5J9J=.5\frac{Energy_{Fe}}{Energy_{Al}} = \frac{4.5J}{9J} =.5This means that iron needs half as much energy as aluminum to raise the temperature by°C. So, the correct answer is B. Fe needs half as much energy as Al.
