Solution:
The molar mass of iron is 55.8
grams per mole. SO we need to change the given mass of iron into moles.
Number of moles of iron = 125 g/(55.8
g/mol) = 2.24 moles
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1) Q (heat) = 2.24 moles (8.314
Joules per mol degrees Celsius) (78.0 degrees Celsius – 23.5 degrees Celsius)
Q (heat) = 1014.97 Joules or
1.015 kilojoulesThis is the amount of heat
produced in warming 125 g f iron.
