Answer:
Q = 2.95*10^5 kJ
Explanation:
In order to calculate the energy required to melt the cooper, you first calculate the energy required to reach the boiling temperature. You use the following formula:
(1)
m: mass of cooper = 540 kg
c: specific heat of cooper = 390 J/kg°C
Tb: boiling temperature of cooper = 1080°C
T1: initial temperature of cooper = 20°C
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):
Next, you calculate the energy required to melt the cooper by using the following formula:
(2)
Lf: melting constant of cooper = 134000J/kg
Finally, the total amount of energy required to melt the cooper from a temperature of 20°C is the sum of Q1 and Q2:
The total energy required is 2.95*10^5 kJ
