gold has a specific heat of 0.130j/g. degrees celsius if 195 joules of heat are added to 15 grams of gold how much does the temperature of the gold change
To calculate the change in temperature of gold, we can use the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where:
Q = heat added (in joules)
m = mass of the substance (in grams)
c = specific heat capacity of the substance (in joules/gram*°C)
ΔT = change in temperature (in °C)
In this case, we know that:
Q = 195 joules (heat added)
m = 15 grams (mass of gold)
c = 0.130 joules/gram*°C (specific heat capacity of gold)
We can rearrange the formula to solve for ΔT:
ΔT = Q / (m * c)
Substituting the known values into the equation:
ΔT = 195 J / (15 g * 0.130 J/g*°C)
ΔT ≈ 10 °C
Therefore, the temperature of the gold would increase by approximately 10 degrees Celsius when 195 joules of heat are added to 15 grams of gold.
