A lead block drops its temperature by 5.90 degrees celsius when 427 J of heat are removed from it. what is the mass of the block?(unit=kg)

Mass of the block is 0.557 kg

Solution:

The quantity of heat (q)  liberated during any process is equal to the product of the mass of the block (m), specific heat (C) and the change in temperature (ΔT). Specific heat of lead is 130 J/kg °C.

We have to rearrange the equation to find the mass of the block of lead as,

Thus the mass (m) = 0.577 kg

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14

correct it is c.) b b
