Answer:
Change in temperature (Δt) = 18.18°C (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of metal block (M) = 55g
Specific heat of metal (c) = 0.45 J/g°C
Amount of energy added (Q) = 450 J
Find:
Change in temperature (Δt)
Computation:
Using Specific Heat Energy formula
Q = McΔt
450 = (55)(0.45)(Δt)
450 = (24.75)(Δt)
Change in temperature (Δt) = 450 / 24.75
Change in temperature (Δt) = 18.18°C (Approx.)
