A 100g sample of each of the following metals is heated from 35C to 45C. Which metal absorbs the highest amount of heat energy?
Copper- 0.385J/(g x C)
Magnesium- 1.02J/(g x C)
Mercury- 0.138J(g xC)
Silver- 0.237 J/(g x C)
Lead- 0.129 J/(g x C)
q = msT
= 100*0.385*10 = 385 J Copper
q = msT
= 100*1.02*10 = 1020 J Magnesium
q = msT
= 100*0.138*10 = 138 J Mercury
q = msT
= 100*0.237*10 = 237 J Silver
q = msT
= 100*0.129*10 = 129 J Lead
Magnesium absorbs the highest amount of energy.
