Question

A piece of wood near a fire is at 23°C. It gains 1,160 joules of heat from the fire and reaches a temperature of 42°C. The specific heat capacity of
wood is 1.716 joules/gram degree Celsius. What is the mass of the piece of wood?
ОА. 16 g
OB. 29 g
ОC. 36 g
OD. 61 g

Answer 1

Answer:

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number
