A sample of iron receives 50.J of heat energy that raises the temperature of the iron
25.0°C. If iron has a specific heat of 100 J/kg°C, what is the mass of the iron sample?

0.02kg

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 50 joules

Mass of iron sample = ? (let unknown value be Z)

C = 100 J/kg°C

Φ = 25°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

50J = Z x 100 J/kg°C x 25°C

50J = 2500J/kg x Z

Z = (50J/2500J/kg)

Z = 0.02kg

Thus, the mass of the iron sample is 0.02kg
