Calculate the amount of heat required to heat a 60 g silver spoon from 10 to 80 degrees Celsius.

Problem data: m (weight of the taken silver spoon) = 60 g (in SI m = 0.06 kg); t0 (initial temperature) = 10 ºС; t (final temperature of the spoon heating) = 80 ºС.

Reference values: Cc (specific heat of silver) = 250 J / (kg * K).

We calculate the required heat for heating the taken silver spoon by the formula: Q = Cc * m * (t – t0).

Let’s perform the calculation: Q = 250 * 0.06 * (80 – 10) = 1050 J.

Answer: It takes 1050 J of heat to heat the taken silver spoon.
