What is the quantity of heat required to raise the
temperature of 500 g of
iron by 2°C?
The specific heat capacity
of iron is 500 J/(kg °C)

The quantity of  heat required to raise the  temperature of 500 g of  iron by 2°C is 500 J.

Explanation:

Calorimetry is responsible for measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.

The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when undergoing a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change in physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous).

Its mathematical expression is the fundamental equation of calorimetry. This is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this  case:

Replacing:

Q= 500 *0.500 kg*2 C

Solving:

Q= 500 J

The quantity of  heat required to raise the  temperature of 500 g of  iron by 2°C is 500 J.
