Question

The air in a kitchen has a mass of 60.0kg and a specific heat of 1505J/(kg°C).

Answer 1

Your answer is 632,100J which is Choice D

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is D.

So you have 60kg of air, and the specific heat per kilogram is 1505j/(kg°C), this means you need 1505j to increase 1°C to the temperature of a mass of 1kg of air.

So, if the change in temperature is from 24°C to 31°C, you are increasing 7°C to 60kg of air.

then, for each degree you need 60*1505 j= 90300j

and for 7°c you need 7*90300j = 632100j, wich is answer D.
