The same heat transfer into identical masses of different substances produces different temperature changes. Calculate the final temperature in degrees Celsius when 1.50 kcal of heat enters 1.50 kg of the following, originally at 15.0°C.(a) water (b) concrete
(c) steel
(d) mercury

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.
