Answer 1

Hello there.

A 4.0-kg aluminum block is originally at 10°
c. if 160 kj of heat is added to the block, what is its final temperature? the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 910 j/kg · k

53.96

Answer 2

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
160000= 4(910)(T2 - 10)
T2 = 53.96 degrees Celsius
