Answer:
It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of gold = 3.11 grams
Temperature rise = 7.7 °C
Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.130 J/g°C
Step 2: Calculate the amount of energy
Q = m*c*ΔT
⇒ Q = the energy required (in Joules) = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒ m = the mass of gold = 3.11 grams
⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = 0.130 J/g°C
⇒ ΔT = The temperature rise = 7.7 °C
Q = 3.11 g * 0.130 J/g°C * 7.7 °C
Q = 3.11 J
It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold
