Question

If 1 J of heat is added to a 2.00 g sample of aluminum metal and the temperature of the metal
increases by 1°C, what is the specific heat of aluminum?
A. 1x10^-4 kcal/g deg
B. 0.5kcal/g deg
C. 2kcal/g deg
D. None​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When heat transfer is involved, use this formula: change in temperature = Q / cm to calculate the change in temperature from a specific amount of heat added. Q represents the heat added, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance you're heating, and m is the mass of the substance you're heating.
