You have a 15.0 gram sample of gold at 20.0°C. How much heat does it take to raise the temperature to 100.0°C?

Respuesta :

Answer:

=154.8 J

Explanation:

Change in enthalpy = MC∅ where M is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity and ∅ is the change in temperature.

Change in temperature = 100.0°C-20.0°C=80°C

ΔH=MC∅

The specific heat capacity of gold= 0.129 J/g°C

ΔH= 15.0g×0.129J/g°C×80°C

=154.8 J
