How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 6.2 x 102 g of aluminum by 20°c (specific heat of aluminum =0.21 cal/g°c? show all work for credit.

The heat required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of sample to a specific temperature change, we use the formula mCpΔT where m is mass, Cp is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the temperature change. In this case, we substitute and form 6.2 x102 g x 0.21 cal/g C *20 C equal to 2604 calories.
