How much energy must be added to a 2-kg piece of wood with a specific heat of 1760 J/(kg°C) to increase its temperature from 10°C to 50°C?
A. 140,800 J
B. 1,760,000 J
C. 211,200 J
D. 35,200 J

A. 140,800 J

Explanation:

Specific heat of a material is defined as the amount of energy required to increase in 1°C 1kg of the material. For wood there are required 1760J perkg per °C.

The equation is:

Q = C*m*ΔT

Where Q is heat in Joules,

C is specific heat (1760J/kg°C),

m is mass (2kg)

ΔT is change in temperature (50°C - 10°C = 40°C)

Replacing:

Q = 1760J/kg°C*2kg*40°C

Q = 140800J

Right option is:

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
