Answer:
Final temperature Water = 20.99-degree celsius
Final temperature Concrete = 24.98 degree celsius
Final temperature Steel = 50.1 degree celsius
Final temperature Mercury = 29.26 degree celsius
Explanation:
Given the mass of each substance = 1.50 kg
Ti = 15
Q = 1.5 kcal = 6276 joule
We have to use the heat capacity of each object so find the heat capacity from the table.
Heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg degree celsius.
Heat capacity of concrete = 840 J/kg degree celsius.
Heat capacity of steel = 452 J/kg degree celsius.
Heat capacity of mercury = 139 J/kg degree celsius.
Use the below formula to find the final temperature.
[tex]T_f = T_i + \frac{Q}{mc_w} \\[/tex]
[tex]\text{Temperature in the case of water.} \\= 20 + \frac{6276}{1.5 \times 4186 } \\= 20.99 \ degree \ celsius \\\text{Temperature in the case of concrete.} \\= 20 + \frac{6276}{1.5 \times 840 } \\= 24.98 \ degree \ celsius \\\text{Temperature in the case of steel.} \\= 20 + \frac{6276}{1.5 \times 452 } \\= 29.26 \ degree \ celsius \\\text{Temperature in the case of mercury.} \\= 20 + \frac{6276}{1.5 \times 139 } \\= 50.1 \ degree \ celsius \\[/tex]
