    Explanation:

    Given parameters:

    Mass of lead = 38g

    Initial temperature = 38°C

    Final temperature = 52°C

    Unknown:

    Amount of heat required = ?

    Solution:

    The amount of heat absorbed by a substance to cause a temperature change is dependent on the mass and specific heat capacity of the body. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to cause a unit temperature rise of a mass of a substance.

    mathematically, heat gained;

    H = m C Ф

    m is the mass of the lead

    Ф is the temperature change

    C is the specific heat capacity

    Specific heat capacity of lead is 0.16J/g°C

    Insert the parameters;

    H = 38 x 0.16 x (52-38) = 121.6J
