Answer:
[tex]7506.1035J[/tex]
Explanation:
We can use the relation
Q =mcΔθ
to find the energy required to heat the iron nail, where Q is the heat energy required, m is the mass of the nail and Δθ is change in temperature and c is heat capacity of the iron nail.
Also, from the question,
[tex]m= 25.5g[/tex]
c = 0.4494J/g°C
Δθ=720 - 65 = 655°C
By substitution
[tex]Q =25.5 \times 0.4494 \times 655[/tex]
[tex]Q=7506.1035J[/tex]
Hence the energy required to heat the iron nail is 7506.1035J
