Answer:
955.173 Joules
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of solid steel = 49.2 g
Initial temperature = 24.1°C
Final temperature = 67.3 °C
Specific heat capacity, c = 0.4494 J/g°C
We are needed to calculate the quantity of heat
- Quantity of heat, Q = Mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature
Q = mcΔT
ΔT = 67.3°C - 24.1°C = 43.2°C
Therefore
Q = 49.2 g × 43.2°C × 0.4494 J/g°C
= 955.173 Joules
Therefore, the energy change is 955.173 Joules
