Question

How many kilojoules of heat energy are required to heat all the aluminum (Cpof Al = .902J/g•°C) in a roll of aluminumfoil (500.0 g) from room temperature (25.0°C) to the temperature of a hot oven (250.0°C)?

One way to cool down your cup of coffee is to plunge an ice-cold piece of aluminum into it. Suppose you store a20.0 g piece of aluminum (Cpof Al = .902J/g•°C) in the refrigerator at 4.40°C and then drop it into your coffee. The coffee temperature drops from 90.0°C to 55.0°C. How many joules of heat energy did the aluminum block absorb? (Ignore the cooling of the cup)

Explanation / Answer

het required = m*s*DT

            = 500*0.902*(250-25)

        = 101.475 kj

heat absorbed by Al = heat lost by water

      = 20*0.902*(55-4.4)

      = 912 joule
