You have 1.2kg of (AU)gold (that's quite a bit of money at $1839/ounce). Using a heat source you apply 3096 J to the gold and record the Temperature rise from 20C to 40C. What is the specific heat of (AU)Gold?

Answer:

129 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of gold, m = 1.2kg

Quantity of heat applied, Q = 3096 J

Temperature, t2 = 40°C

Temperature, t1 = 20°C

Change in temperature, dt = (40-20)°C = 20°C

Using the relation :

Q = mcdt

Where, C = specific heat capacity of gold

3096 = 1.2kg * C * 20°C

3096 J = 24kg°C * C

C = 3096 J / 24 kg°C

C = 129 J/Kg°C
