Answer:
355Joules
Explanation:
The amount of heat absorbed can be calculated using the formula:
Q = m × c × ∆T
Where;
Q = amount of heat absorbed in joules
m = mass of substance in grams
c = specific heat capacity of solid (0.727 J/g°C)
∆T = final temperature - initial temperature (°C)
According to the information provided in this question;
Q = ?
m = 12.3g
∆T = 62.1°C - 22.4°C = 39.7°C
c = 0.727 J/g°C
Using Q = m × c × ∆T
Q = 12.3 × 0.727 × 39.7
Q = 355.001
Q = 355Joules
Hence, 355J of heat was absorbed
