What is the temperature change when 8000J is transferred to a 1.0kg object with a specific heat capacity of 400J/(kg ∘ C)?
Question
What is the temperature change when 8000J is transferred to a 1.0kg object with a specific heat capacity of 400J/(kg ∘ C)?
Solution
The formula to calculate the temperature change (ΔT) is:
ΔT = Q / (m * c)
where: Q = heat energy transferred = 8000 J m = mass of the object = 1.0 kg c = specific heat capacity = 400 J/(kg ∘ C)
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
ΔT = 8000 J / (1.0 kg * 400 J/(kg ∘ C)) = 20 ∘ C
So, the temperature change is 20 ∘ C.
