If the specific heat of gold is 0.13 J/gC, what is the amount of energy (heat) required to raise 30.0g of gold from 15 degrees Celsius to 41 degrees Celsius?

The amount of energy required is 101 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed = ?

m= mass of gold = 30.0 g

c = specific heat capacity of gold =

Initial temperature of the water = = 15°C

Final temperature of the water =  = 41°C

Change in temperature ,

Putting in the values, we get:

The amount of energy required is 101 Joules

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
