A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50 Celsius. How much thermal energy will it lose when it’s temperature is reduced by half?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of aluminium block, m = 1.0 kg

The initial temperature of block, T = 50° C

The final temperature of the block, T' = 25° C

The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C

                                                     = 25° C

The specific heat capacity of aluminium, c = 900  J/kg°C

The formula for thermal energy,

                             Q = mcΔT

                                 = 1.0 x 900 x 25

                                 = 22500 J

Hence, the lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

The thermal energy loose by the aluminum block will be Q = 22500 J

What will be the amount of energy aluminum block will lose?

It is given that Given data,

The mass of the aluminum block, m = 1.0 kg

The initial temperature of the block, T = 50° C

Since the temperature of the block is halved then,

The final temperature of the block,  T' = 25° C

The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C = 25° C

The specific heat capacity of aluminum,

c = 900  J/kg°C

The formula to find out the thermal energy will be

[tex]Q=m\times c\times\Delta T[/tex]  

[tex]Q=1.0\times 900\times 25[/tex]    

                           

[tex]Q= 22500J[/tex]  

Thus the thermal energy loose by the aluminum block will be Q = 22500 J
