A 52.0g silver spoon is dropped into a large pan of hot dishwater. Its temperatyre rises from room temperature (22c) to the temperate of the dishwater (47c). How much energy was transferred to the silver spoon from the hot water?



Answer :

Answer:0.312 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of energy transferred to the silver spoon from the hot water, we can use the formula:    where:   = energy transferred   = mass of the silver spoon   = specific heat capacity of silver   = change in temperature

Given data:   (convert grams to kilograms)   (specific heat capacity of silver)  Initial temperature,   Final temperature,   1. Calculate the change in temperature:    2. Substitute the values into the formula:    3. Solve for :          Therefore, the amount of energy transferred to the silver spoon from the hot water is 0.312 Joules.
