How much heat is absorbed when a 298.3 g piece of brass goes from 30.0 to 150 degrees Celsius? The specific heat of brass is .038 J/g°C.

Q = 1360.248 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of brass = 298.3 g

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 150°C

Specific heat capacity of brass = 0.038 J/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

SOLUTION:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 150°C - 30.0°C  

ΔT = 120°C

Q = 298.3 g × 0.038 J/g.°C × 120°C

Q = 1360.248 j
