Answer :
Answer:
The amount of thermal energy needed is 626.6 J
Explanation:
When a certain amount of heat energy Q is supplied to a substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation
where m is the mass of the substance is the specific heat capacity of the substance is the change in temperature
Answer:
642.6 kJ
Explanation:
Using the formula for heat energy required:
[tex]Q = mc \Delta T[/tex] ,
where:
C → specific heat capacity = 1.68 kJ/kg°C
Q → heat energy required = ?
m → mass of the object = 4.5 kg
ΔT → change in temperature = 97°C - 12°C = 85°C,
Q = 4.5 x 1.68 x 85
= 642.6 kJ
