Solution

Sure, here's how you can calculate the heat change:

  1. First, we need to find the number of moles of gold. The molar mass of gold is approximately 197.0 g/mol. So, the number of moles (n) can be calculated as:

    n = mass / molar mass n = 295 g / 197.0 g/mol = 1.50 mol

  2. Next, we use the formula for heat change (q), which is:

    q = n * C * ΔT

    where: n = number of moles C = molar heat capacity ΔT = change in temperature

  3. Substituting the values into the formula:

    q = 1.50 mol * 25.42 J mol-1 K-1 * 20 K = 760.2 J

So, the heat change when 295 g of solid gold increases in temperature by 20 K is approximately 760.2 J to 1 decimal place.
