Question: An aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg.
(a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle?
(b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 掳C to 99.0 掳C?
(c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 掳C to 99.0 掳C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and specific heat of 4.184 J/g 掳C)?
Short Answer
- The heat capacity of the kettle is941.85\(\frac{J}{{^0C}}\).
- The heat required to increase the temperature of the kettle = 71.58 kJ.
The heat required to raise the temperature of the kettle with water inside it is 4048kJ.
