Answer:
475.26°C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 50g
Specific heat = 0.3825J/g°C
Quantity of heat = 4593Joules
Initial temperature = 235.16°C
Unknown:
Final temperature = ?
Solution:
The quantity of heat absorbed by a body is a function of the mass, specific heat capacity and temperature change the body undergoes.
Mathematically, this relationship is given as;
H = m c Ф
where H is the quantity of heat
m is the mass of the body
c is the specific heat capacity
Ф is the temperature difference
Ф = final temperature - initial temperature
Since we are solving for final temperature, let us substitute for other given parameters;
H = m c ( final temperature - initial temperature)
4593 = 50 x 0.3825 x (F - 235.16)
F - 235.16 = 240.1
F = 240.1 + 235.16 = 475.26°C
