Answer:
m = 50.74 kg
Explanation:
We have,
Initial temperature of water is 20 degrees Celsius
Final temperature of water is 46.6 degrees Celsius
Heat absorbed is 5650 J
It is required to find the mass of the sample. The heat absorbed is given by the formula ad follows :
c is specific heat of water, c = 4.186 J/g°C
So,
So, the mass of the sample is 50.74 kg.
Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:
Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
