How much heat is absorbed by a 48g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 8oC to 111oC? Joules

Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. We need data on the heat capacity of iron. From literature, it is 0.450 J/g-C. We use the expression as follows:

Heat absorbed = m (C) (T2-T1)

Heat = 48 g (0.450 J / g-C) (111 C - 8 C)

Heat = 2224.8 J energy gained

Therefore, the heat that is absorbed by the given mass of iron skillet from the rise in temperature of 8 degrees celsius to 111 degrees celsius would be about 2224.8 Joules of energy.
