the specific heat of iron is 0.4494 j/g°C. how much heat energy (kj) is transferred when a 24.7 kg iron ingot is cooled from 880°C to 13°C?

Respuesta :

Answer is: 9623.85 kJ of heat is transferred from iron ingot.
m(Fe) = 24.7 kg · 1000 g/kg = 24700 g; mass of iron ingot.
C = 0.4494 J/g°C; the specific heat of iron
ΔT = 880°C - 13°C; temperature difference.
ΔT = 867°C.
Q = m·C·ΔT.
Q = 24700 g · 0.4494 J/g°C ·867°C.
Q = 9623856.06 J ÷ 1000J/kJ.
Q = 9623.85 kJ.
