Question

On thanksgiving morning you take a turkey with mass and temperature into an oven and it stays there until the temperature of the turkey is . Determine the change in thermal energy for the turkey. The specific heat for turkey is .

Answer 1

2.81 kJ/(kg-K).

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific heat capacity of turkey is 2.81 kJ/(kg-K) which means that it takes 2.81 kJ of energy to heat one kg of turkey by increasing the temperature by one degree Kelvin. Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin of temperature so the specific heat capacity for turkey is 2.81 kJ/(kg-K).
