Capitolo 5, Problema 51d

(d) How many kJ of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 5.00 kg of liquid water from 24.6 to 46.2 °C?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the formula to calculate the heat required: \( q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \), where \( q \) is the heat energy, \( m \) is the mass, \( c \) is the specific heat capacity, and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
Determine the mass \( m \) of the water, which is given as 5.00 kg.
Use the specific heat capacity \( c \) of liquid water, which is typically \( 4.18 \text{ J/g°C} \). Convert this to \( \text{kJ/kg°C} \) if necessary.
Calculate the change in temperature \( \Delta T \) by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature: \( \Delta T = 46.2°C - 24.6°C \).
Substitute the values into the formula to find \( q \): \( q = 5.00 \text{ kg} \times 4.18 \text{ kJ/kg°C} \times \Delta T \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. For water, this value is approximately 4.18 J/g°C. Understanding this concept is crucial for calculating the heat energy needed for temperature changes in substances.

Heat Transfer Equation

The heat transfer equation, often expressed as q = mcΔT, relates the heat energy (q) absorbed or released by a substance to its mass (m), specific heat capacity (c), and the change in temperature (ΔT). This equation is fundamental for solving problems involving temperature changes in materials.
