Part a a calorimeter consists of an aluminum cup inside of an insulated container. The cup is weighed on a top-loading balance and is found to have a mass of 31. 91 g. A reaction is conducted in the calorimeter, raising the temperature from 21. 2 c to 26. 1 c what is the change in heat q for the aluminum cup in units of j? aluminum has a specific heat of 0. 903 j 1 ? 1 write your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

A substance's heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase its overall temperature by one degree. The heat capacity is known as the specific heat capacity or the specific heat if the substance's mass is unity.

change in heat -

The amount of heat Q that is transported to create a temperature shift depends on the substance and phase involved, the mass of the system, and the magnitude of the temperature change. (A) The temperature change and the amount of heat transported are directly inversely related.

The answer's sign dig is determined by a calculation's lowest sign digits.

The solution will need 3 digits because the temperatures are provided with 3 significant digits and the specified heat has 3 significant digits (the mass has 4 significant digits).

31.91 g * 0.903 J/g-C * (26.1 - 21.2 C) = 141 J
