How man joules are required to increase the temperature of 1 kg of granite by 1000K using 790 joule/kilogram-kelvin as the specific heat of granite.
To find the amount of energy (in joules) required to increase the temperature of granite, you can use the formula:
Q = m x c x ΔT
where:
Q is the amount of energy (in joules)
m is the mass of the substance (in kilograms)
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in joules/kg-K)
ΔT is the change in temperature (in Kelvin)
Given:
Mass of granite (m) = 1 kg
Specific heat of granite (c) = 790 J/kg-K
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 1000 K
Now, substitute the given values into the formula:
Q = (1 kg) x (790 J/kg-K) x (1000 K)
Calculating this equation will give us the amount of energy required.
