Question

One of the moving parts of an engine contains 1.60 kg of aluminum and 0.300 kg of iron. The part can be safely operated at a maximum temperature of 210°C. How much heat is required to raise its temperature from 20.0°C to 210°C? The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 900 J/kg · K, and of iron is 470 J/kg · K.

9.10 x 102 J

2.01 x 106 J

2.68 x 104 J

3.00 x 105 J

2.01 x 106 J

2.68 x 104 J

3.00 x 105 J

Explanation / Answer

4th option 3.00 x 10^5 J is the correct answer.

here is the explanation.

heat required = m1*C1*dT + m2*C2*dT

= 1.6*900*(210-20) + 0.3*470*(210-20)

= 3*10^5 J
