Question 513 Marks
Calculate the number of kJ of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 60.0 g of aluminium from $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $55^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Molar heat capacity of Al is $24 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$.

View full question & answer→Mass of Al = 60g Rise in temperature,$ \Delta\text{T} = 55 – 35 = 20°\text{C}$ Molar heat capacity of Al $= 24\text{J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}$ Specific heat capacity of Al $=\frac{24}{27}\text{Jg}^{-1} \ \text{K}^{-1}$$\therefore$ Energy required $ \text{m} \times \text{c} \times \Delta{\text{T}}$
= $60\times\frac{24}{27}\times20=\frac{28800}{27}=1066.67 \text{J}$
$= 1.068\text{kJ or 1.07kJ}$
= $60\times\frac{24}{27}\times20=\frac{28800}{27}=1066.67 \text{J}$
$= 1.068\text{kJ or 1.07kJ}$
