Question

The specific heat of wood is about 1,700 J/kg. °C. How much energy is required to heat a 12 kg piece of wood from 20 degrees * C to 30 degrees * C ?

Answer 1

204 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat energy can be calculated using

Q=mcθ

where Q = Heat energy

m =mass

c = specific heat capacity

θ =temperature difference

Q = 12 * 1700*10

= 204000 J

= 204 kJ
