1. how much heat is absorbed by a 50g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 10oc to 124oc? joules 2. if a refrigerator is a heat pump that follows the first law of thermodynamics, how much heat was removed from food inside of the refrigerator if it released 492j of energy to the room? joules 3. how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 45g of water by 63oc? joules

1. How much heat is absorbed by a 50g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 10oC to 124oC? Joules

Formula: Heat = mass * specific heat * ΔT

Data:
mass = 50 g = 0.050 kg
specific heat of iron = 450 J/ kg °C
ΔT = 124°C - 10°C ¿ 114 °C

=> heat = 0.050kg * 450 J / kg°C * 114°C ≈ 2.6 J

2. If a refrigerator is a heat pump that follows the first law of thermodynamics, how much heat was removed from food inside of the refrigerator if it released 492J of energy to the room? Joules

The firs law of thermodynamics is conservation of energy => energy removed from inside of the refrigerator = energy released to the room

=> Answer = 492 J

3. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 45g of water by 63oC? Joules

Formula: heat = mass * specific heat * ΔT

specific heat of water = 4186 J / Kg °C

heat = 0.045 kg * 4186 J/kg °C * 63°C = 11,867.31 J
