Capacity of iron

What was the initial temperature of an iron object weighing 30 kg that, when heated to 39 degrees Celsius, absorbed 3.5 kJ of heat? The specific heat capacity of iron is 450 J/kg/°C.

Correct answer:

t1 =  38.7407 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

m=30 kg t2=39 °C Q=3.5 kJ J=3.5 1000  J=3500 J c=450 J/kg/°C  Q = m c (t2t1)  t2t1 = m cQ  t1=t2m cQ=3930 4503500=38.7407°C
