How much heat in joules is required to heat a 44g sample of aluminum from 76 F to 148 F?

To calculate the amount of heat required to heat a sample of aluminum, you can use the equation:

q = mcΔT

Where q is the amount of heat (in joules), m is the mass of the sample (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of aluminum (0.897 J/g°C), and ΔT is the change in temperature (in °C).

First, calculate the change in temperature:

ΔT = 148°F - 76°F = 72°F

However, the specific heat capacity of aluminum is provided in °C, so it needs to be converted to °F:

0.897 J/g°C * (9/5) = 1.6154 J/g°F

Now, convert the mass of aluminum from grams to joules:

m = 44g

Finally, substitute the values into the equation:

q = (44g) * (1.6154 J/g°F) * (72°F)

Calculating this equation will give you the amount of heat required to heat the aluminum sample in joules.
