A container with 3 kg of pure water at a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius is placed in a refrigerator where the air temperature is kept at 4 degrees Celsius. how much heat (in joules) is gained by the air when the water cools to 4 degrees Celsius?

Sagot :

Answer:

100 368 J

Explanation:

Heat lost by the water = heat gained by the air ( which the 'frige works to expel and keep at 4 degrees)

specific heat for water ( in joules) :  4182 J / kg-C

    3 kg *  4182 J / kg-C  * (12-4 C) = 100 368 J
