How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 3 kg of water by 60 °C? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg °C)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 756000 J
- Step 1: .
- Step 2: J.
Answer
756000 J.
Why not the others: 12600 J: it ignores the temperature rise. 252000 J: it ignores the mass. 756 J: it converts to kJ but keeps the unit J.
