If the same amount of energy in the form of heat is added to 8.9 g samples of each of the metals below, which metal will undergo
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The metal with the highest specific heat capacity will undergo the most temperature change.
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat supplied to a unit mass of a substance to cause a temperature change of 1°C.
A very good conductor of heat will have low specific heat capacity. This implies that less heat will be required to cause a monumental change in its temperature.
C =
where C is specific heat
H is the amount of heat supplied
m is the mass
t is the temperature
We see that since both H and m for the two metals are the same, specific heat is inversely proportional to temperature change.
The lower the heat capacity, the higher the temperature change.

Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Mass of apple sauce mixture = 454 kg
Heat added (Q) = 121300 kJ
Heat capacity () of apple sauce at
= 4.0177
So, Heat given by heat exchanger = heat taken by apple sauce
Q =
or, Q =
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
121300 kJ =
=
Thus, we can conclude that outlet temperature of the apple sauce is .
