Question

How much energy, in Joules, is needed to raise the temperature from 25.87°C to 33.16°C in a 2.66 kg block of each of the following materials? Silver has a specific heat of 0.235 J/g·K, iron has a specific heat of 0.449 J/g·K, and titanium has a specific heat of 0.522 J/g·K. (a) silver

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Silver, H = 455.67 J

(b) Iron, H = 870.67 J

(c) titanium, H = 1012.23 J

Explanation:

mass of block, m = 2.66 kg = 266 g

T1 = 25.87° C

T2 = 33.16° C

ΔT = T2 - T1 = 33.16 - 25.87 = 7.29° C

(a) Specific heat of silver, c = 0.235 J/g K

The heat required is given by

H = m x c x ΔT

H = 266 x 0.235 x 7.29 = 455.67 J

(b) Specific heat of iron, c = 0.449 J/g K

The heat required is given by

H = m x c x ΔT

H = 266 x 0.449 x 7.29 = 870.67 J

(c) Specific heat of titanium, c = 0.522 J/g K

The heat required is given by

H = m x c x ΔT

H = 266 x 0.522 x 7.29 = 1012.23 J
