Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Specific heat capacity = 2.03J/g °C
Mass of wood = 550g
Initial temperature = 10°C
Final temperature = 35°C
Unknown:
Amount of heat = ?
Solution:
The quantity of heat supplied to a substance to effect a temperature change is given as;
H = m c Ф
here m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
Ф is the temperature change
The temperature change is the difference between the final and initial temperature.
Ф = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 35 - 10 = 25°C
Input the parameters:
H = 550 x 2.03 x 25 = 27912.5J
