Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The specific heat of aluminum is 0.897 J/gC0.897 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . The mass of aluminum is32.1 grams3. The initial temperature is 21.0C21.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
4. The final temperature is 29.5C29.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
5. The formula to calculate heat is q=mcΔq = mc\Delta, where qq is the heat, mm is the mass, cc is the specific heat, and Δ\Delta is the change in temperature

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the change in temperature. We can do this by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Δ=finalinitial\Delta =_{final} -_{initial}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final temperatures to calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=29.5C21.0C\Delta =29.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} -21.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

STEP 4

Calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=29.C21.0C=8.C\Delta =29.^{\circ} \mathrm{C} -21.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} =8.^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

STEP 5

Now that we have the change in temperature, we can calculate the amount of heat required to heat the aluminum. We can do this by using the formula q=mcΔq = mc\Delta.
q=m×c×Δq = m \times c \times \Delta

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature to calculate the heat.
q=32.1 g×0.897 J/gC×8.5Cq =32.1 \mathrm{~g} \times0.897 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \times8.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

STEP 7

Calculate the heat.
q=32.1 g×0.897 J/gC×.5C=244.3 Jq =32.1 \mathrm{~g} \times0.897 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \times.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} =244.3 \mathrm{~J}The amount of heat required to heat32.1 grams of aluminum from 21.0C21.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} to 29.5C29.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C} is244.3 Joules.
