Ahunk of up gold weighs 800 gram to heat the gold up to a temperature of 200 kelvin if the gold absorbs 12 kilojoules of energy what was the initial temperature of the gold? the specific heat capacity of gold is 0.129 grams times c

The initial temperature of the gold was 84 K.

Step 1. Calculate the temperature change.

The formula for the heat (q) absorbed is

q = mCΔT

We can solve this equation to get

ΔT = q/(mC)

q = 12 000 J; m = 800 g; C = 0.129 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹

∴ ΔT = 12 000 J/(800 g × 0.129 J·K⁻¹g⁻¹) = 116 K

Step 2. Calculate the initial temperature

ΔT = T_f – T_i = 200 K – T_i = 116 K

T_i = 200 K – 116 K = 84 K

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.

the answer is 0.42 is that is an option. this question provides no info
