The specific heat capacity of iron is 450.5. A 15.5 kg block of iron with an initial temperature of 20 degrees Celsius is heated with 250 J. What will

the final temperature of the iron be?

Explanation:

Given that,

The specific heat capacity of iron is 450.5 J/g°C

The mass of block of iron, m = 15.5 kg

Initial temperature,

Heat required, Q = 250 J

We need to find the final temperature of the iron. The formula for heat required is given by :

So, the final temperature of the iron is .
