A 500 gram cube of lead is heated from 25 °C to 75 °C. How much energy was required to heat the lead? The specific heat of lead is 0.129 J/g°C.
m = 500 grams
c = 0.129 J/g°C
ΔT = (Tfinal – Tinitial) = (75 °C – 25 °C) = 50 °C
Q = (500 grams)·(0.129 J/g°C)·(50 °C)
Q = 3225 J
What is our school's full name and school number?
