When an automobile engine starts, the metal parts immediately begin to absorb heat released during the combustion of gasoline. How much heat will be absorbed by a 165 kg iron engine block as the temperature rises from 15.7°C to 95.7°C? (The specific heat of iron is 0.489 J/g·°C.)

H = 4,034,250 J

Explanation:

Mass, m = 165kg = 165,000g (Converting to grams)

Initial temperature = 15.7°C

Final temperature = 95.7°C

Temperature change, ΔT = 95.7 - 15.7 = 50°C

Specific heat capacity, c = 0.489 J/g·°C

Heat = ?

All the parameters are related with the equation below;

H = m * c * ΔT

H = 165000 * 0.489  * 50

H = 4,034,250 J

the answer is option a.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
