If 4.0kJ of energy is required to raise the temperature of 1.0kg of paraffin by 2.0°C, how much energy (in kJ) is required to raise the temperature of 5.0kg of paraffin by 1.0°C?

10 KJ

Explanation:

We are told that 4.0kJ of energy is required to raise the temperature of 1.0kg of paraffin by 2.0°C.

Formula for heat energy here is;

Q = mcΔt

Where;

m is mass

c is specific heat capacity

ΔT is change in temperature

Thus;

4 = 1 × c × 2

c = 4/2

c = 2 Kj/Kg°C

The energy required to raise the temperature of 5.0kg of paraffin by 1.0°C would be;

Q_new = 5 × 2 × 1

Q_new = 10 KJ

since you're a real machine, your ama is always less than your ima, because you can never totally eliminate friction.

i believe the answer is a hope it and is correct
