Question

SHOW WORK AND INCLUDE UNITS

Answer 1

Answer:

36365.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) released on cooling a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C), and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since, M = 45.4 g

C = 3.56 J/g°C,

Φ = 250°C - 25°C = 225°C

Q = 45.4g x 3.56J/g°C x 225°C

Q= 36365.4 Joules

Thus, 36365.4 Joules of heat energy is released when the lithium is cooled.
