1) 385 J
2) 450 J
Explanation:
1)
The amount of energy that must be absorbed by a certain substance in order to increase its temperature by
is given by the equation:
![Q=mC\Delta T](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3DmC%5CDelta%20T)
where
m is the mass of the substance
C is its specific heat capacity
is the increase in temperature of the substance
For the block of copper in this problem, we have:
m = 10 g is the mass
is the specific heat capacity of copper
is the change in temperature
So, the energy absorbed by the block of copper is
![Q=(10)(0.385)(100)=385 J](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D%2810%29%280.385%29%28100%29%3D385%20J)
2)
Similarly for the block of iron, the energy absorbed by the iron is given by
![Q=mC\Delta T](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3DmC%5CDelta%20T)
where
m is the mass of the block of iron
C is its specific heat capacity of iron
is the increase in temperature of the block
Here we have:
m = 10 g is the mass of the block
is the specific heat capacity of iron
is the change in temperature
So, the energy absorbed by the block of iron is
![Q=(10)(0.450)(100)=450 J](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D%2810%29%280.450%29%28100%29%3D450%20J)
