The amount of thermal energy absorbed.
Answer to Problem 20PP
The amount of thermal energy absorbed is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The temperature of
Formula Used:
When temperature of an object is changed from
Calculation:
Here, the given substance is water which has a mass of
The initial temperature of water in Kelvin can be calculated as,
Similarly, the final temperature of iron in Kelvin is,
Substituting these parameters in (1), the thermal energy absorbed to achieve this temperature change is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the amount of thermal energy absorbed to raise the temperature of water for the given range is
