Answer:
81 J.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.45 J/gK.
Temperature change (ΔT) = 15 K
Mass = 12 g
Heat required (Q) =?
The heat required to raise the temperature of iron can be obtained as illustrated below:
Q = MCΔT
Q = 12 × 0.45 × 15
Q = 81 J
Therefore, the heat required to raise the temperature of the iron is 81 J.
