Question

The specific heat capacity of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 J/(g⋅∘C). What is the amount of heat exchanged when the temperature of 2.76 kg of this oil is cooled from 191∘C to 23 ∘C?

Answer 1

Q = -811440 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oil = 2.76 Kg (2.76× 1000 = 2760 g)

Initial temperature = 191 °C

Final temperature = 23°C

Specific heat capacity of oil = 1.75 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 23°C - 191 °C

ΔT = -168°C

Q = 2760 g ×1.75 J/g.°C ×-168°C

Q = -811440 J

Negative sign show heat is released.
