Final answer:
The final temperature of the aluminum engine part after absorbing 75.0 kJ of heat is 295.67°C, calculated using the specific heat capacity of aluminum and the mass of the part.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the final temperature of a 295 g aluminum engine part after absorbing 75.0 kJ of heat, we can use the heat transfer equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Using the specific heat capacity of aluminum, which is 0.900 J/g°C, and the mass of the part (295 g), we can rearrange the equation to solve for the change in temperature: ΔT = Q / (mc).
First, convert the given heat from kJ to J: 75.0 kJ = 75,000 J. Then use the equation ΔT = Q / (mc) to calculate the change in temperature.
ΔT = 75,000 J / (295 g × 0.900 J/g°C) = 75,000 J / 265.5 J/°C ≈ 282.67°C
Now, add the change in temperature to the initial temperature to find the final temperature:
Final Temperature = Initial Temperature + ΔT = 13.00°C + 282.67°C = 295.67°C
