Question

29. If a walnut is burned in a

Answer 1

Energy were released from the walnut, q = 1,673.6 J

Equation :

To find the energy using formula,

q = mcΔt

where,

q is charge

m is mass

c is specific heat of water

Δt is change in temperature

So, given

t₁ = 50°C

t₂ = 60°C

m = 40g

c = 4.184 J/g

Now putting the values known,

We get,

q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

q = 40g x 4.184 J/g x  (60 - 50)

q = 167.36 J x 10

q = 1,673.6 J

What is heat energy?

Heat is the thermal energy that is transferred when two systems with different surface temperatures come into contact. Heat is denoted by the letters q or Q and is measured in Joules.
