got 22 degrees celsius for the last answer from Damon. Another question is ......How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 500g object with specific heat capacity 0.5 cal/g c by 25 degrees?
The question answers itself
Q = C * mass * increase in temp
Q = .5 cal/g deg * 500 g * 25 deg
i completely drew a blank on the equation.....so easy Damon...thanks for your help
Answer is 6250 cal?
yes, ten times 25 squared (use head not calculator)
To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of an object, you can use the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
Where:
Q is the heat energy (in calories)
m is the mass of the object (in grams)
c is the specific heat capacity (in cal/g°C)
ΔT is the change in temperature (in degrees Celsius)
In this case, the mass of the object is 500g, the specific heat capacity is 0.5 cal/g°C, and the change in temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.
Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Q = 500g * 0.5 cal/g°C * 25°C
Q = 6,250 calories
Therefore, 6,250 calories of heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 500g object with a specific heat capacity of 0.5 cal/g°C by 25 degrees.
