Q. Calculate the number of kJ necessary to raise the temperature of 110.

0 g of aluminum from 178

degree centigrade to 230 degree centigrade. The molar heat capacity of Al is 24 J/mol.K

Now we first will determine the number of moles of aluminum in the sample

moles (n) = mass(m)/ Molecular mass (M)

n = 110.0 g/ 26.98 (g/mole) = 4.077 moles of Al

Now from the molar heat capacity, we see that it takes 24 J of heat to raise the temperature of 1
mole of Aluminum by 1 K or 1 centigrade (Since 1 Kelvin is equivalent to 1 centigrade)

Now we calculate the change in temperature (T)

(ΔT) = Tfinal – Tinitial = 230-178 = 52 centigrade or 52 K

Therefore amount of heat required (Q)

Q = n*Cp*ΔT

where Cp is the molar heat capacity of Aluminum

Q = 4.077 moles * 24 (J/mol.K) * 52 K * (10-3 kJ/J) (since 1 kJ = 1000 J )

Q = 5.088 kJ
