In 1906, a 600 g diamond was found at the Premier Mine in South Africa- the world's largest uncut diamond. Suppose the diamond's temperature changed by 2℃ as it was cut. If the specific heat capacity of diamond is 710 J/g℃, how much energy was transferred to the diamond by the heat?

852000 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (M) = 600 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 2 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 710 J/g℃

Heat transfered (Q) =?

Thus, we can obtain the the heat transfered to the diamond by using the following formula:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 600 × 710 × 2

Q = 852000 J

Therefore, the energy transfered to the diamond by heat is 852000 J

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
