if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.21 cal/g degree C, how much heat is givin off when 10 grams of aluminum is cooled from .50 to .10 degress

The heat given off by the 10 grams of aluminum is 1.14 cal. This can be calculated by first calculating the change in temperature (ΔT), which is 0.50 - 0.10 = 0.40 degrees C. Then, heat (q) can be calculated using the equation q = m c ΔT, where m is the mass of the aluminum (10 g) and c is its specific heat (0.21 cal/g deg C). Using this equation, q = 10 g x 0.21 cal/g deg C x 0.40 deg C = 1.14 cal.
