Answer:
The correct answer is 7.1 degree C.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the initial temperature or To of the block is 23.4 degree C.
The energy lost or Q from the given wooden block is -759 J.
The specific heat capacity or c of the wood given is 1.716 J/g°C
The mass of the wooden block given is 27.2 grams.
There is a need to find the final temperature of the wooden block, for this the formula to be used is,
Q = m × c × (T-To)
Now by putting the given values in the formula we get,
-759 = 27.2 × 1.716 (T - 23.4)
T = 7.1 degree C.
