Question
12
Assume Lake Huron contains 3.60 x 10-2 m³ of water, and assume the water's density is that of water at 20°C and 1 atm.
(a) How much energy (in J) is required to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.8°C to 23.6°C?
1.627e24
From the density of water and the volume, what is the mass of the water? What is specific heat? How is it related to the energy input, mass, and temperature change? Use it to solve for the
energy. Be careful with units. J
(b) How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using a power of 1,400 MW generated by an electric power plant?
