What is the final temperature of a 27.2-gram wooden block that starts at 23.4°c and loses 759 joules of energy? the specific heat capacity of wood is 1.716 joules/gram degree celsius. use the formula q = mcδt. a. 7.1°c b. 10.9°c c. 16.3°c d. 39.7°c

T = final temperature  of the block

T₀ = initial temperature of the block = 23.4 °C

Q = energy lost  from the wooden block = - 759 J

c = specific heat capacity of wood = 1.716 J/(g  °C)

m = mass of the wooden block = 27.2 g

Heat lost from the block is given as

Q = m c (T - T₀)

inserting the values

- 759 = (27.2) (1.716) (T - 23.4)

T = 7.1 °C

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.
