You have 53 g of aluminum at25 degrees C.

How much heat must be added to raise its
temperature to 139 degrees C? Assume the specific
heat of aluminum is 903 J/kg · degrees C.
Answer in units of J

q=m*c*change of t

m=mass
c= specific heat
change of t= final temp- initial temp

fill in these with your numbers and you should get the answer

is it supposed to be a really high number?

sorry convert your 53 grams to kg. because your specific heat capacity is in J per kg

this should change your answer

right. or change specific heat to 0.903 J/g.

To calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of aluminum, we need to use the formula:

Q = m * c * ΔT

Where:
Q is the heat energy in joules,
m is the mass of the aluminum in kilograms,
c is the specific heat capacity of aluminum in J/kg · degrees C, and
ΔT is the change in temperature in degrees C.

First, we need to convert the given mass of aluminum from grams to kilograms:

m = 53 g / 1000 = 0.053 kg

Next, we can calculate the change in temperature:

ΔT = 139 degrees C - 25 degrees C = 114 degrees C

Now, we can plug in the values into the formula to find the amount of heat required:

Q = 0.053 kg * 903 J/kg · degrees C * 114 degrees C

Calculating this expression will give us the answer in joules.
