How much heat is gained when a 50.32g piece of aluminum is heated from 9.0°c to 16°c

317 joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) gained by aluminium depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

In this case,

Q = ?

Mass of aluminium = 50.32g

C = 0.90J/g°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 16°C - 9°C = 7°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 50.32g x 0.90J/g°C x 7°C

Q = 317 joules

Thus, 317 joules of heat is gained.

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
