    Heat Energy Absorbed
    A 300g piece of aluminum is heated from 30 degrees C to 150 degrees C. What amount of heat energy is absorbed?
    The specific heat capacity of aluminum is: 900

    I tried doing this question.. and substituting it in the formula Q=m c DeltaT

    but I get a different answer from my teacher's answer.

    Can someone help and tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if I am missing a step?

    H=mst
    H=0.3kg x 900 x 120
    H= 32400 joules
