The heat capacity of solid iron is 0.447 J/gËC. If the same quantity of energy were transferred to a 450 g chunk of iron at 20ËC, what would be the final temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T_f=343.14^{\circ} C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The heat capacity of solid iron is 0.447 J/g°C.

Mass, m = 450 g

Initial temperature, [tex]T_i=20^{\circ} C[/tex]

Let the heat transferred, Q = 65 kJ

We need to find the final temperature. The heat transferred is given by :

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q+mcT_i=mcT_f\\\\T_f=\dfrac{Q+mcT_i}{mc}\\\\=\dfrac{65000+450\times 0.447\times 20}{450\times 0.447}\\\\=343.14^{\circ} C[/tex]

So, the final temperature is [tex]343.14^{\circ} C[/tex].

The final temperature of the iron after the heat transfer of 65 kJ will be  343.14 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of substance by 1-degree celsius.

The specific heat can be given by:

Q = mc[tex]\Delta[/tex]T

Q = specific heat = 65 kJ

c= heat capacity = 0.447 J/g [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

m = mass of the iron = 450 g

[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = change in temperatue = final temperature - initial temperature

[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = final temperature - 20 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

Putting the values in the equation:

65000 J = 0.447 J/g [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] 450 g

65000 J = 201.15  [tex]\times[/tex] ( final temperature - 20 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] )

Final temperature - 20 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]  = 323.14

Final temperature = 343.14 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].

The final temperature of the iron after the heat transfer of 65 kJ will be  343.14 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].
