1) Step 5 A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis. Inorganic carbon is turned into organic.
2) Step 1 A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves. Caterpillar use carbon for energy.
3) Step 3 A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar. Organic carbon shifts from one animal to another
4) Step 4 The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.
5) Step 2 The bird decomposes and the carbon is added to the atmosphere. Organic carbon turns into inorganic.

1.What is the specific heat capacity of granite when 20 kg absorbs 237 000 J of heat energy, causing its temperature to increase

Natalka [10]

Given :

Amount = 20 kg
Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
Temperature change = 15 °C

Formula applied :

$\boxed {Q = mc \triangle T}$

Q = absorbed heat
m = mass
c = specific heat capacity
ΔT = temperature change

Let's solve for c !

⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15

⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300

⇒ $\boxed {c = 790 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}}$

∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is 790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹.
