How much heat is required to heat a 50 g silver spoon for 60 seconds?

Problem data: m (weight of the silver spoon taken) = 50 g (50 * 10 ^ -3 kg); Δt (temperature change of a silver spoon when heated) = 60 ºС.

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

The amount of heat that was required to heat the taken silver spoon is determined by the formula: Q = Cc * m * Δt.

Let’s perform the calculation: Q = 250 * 50 * 10 ^ -3 * 60 = 750 J.

Answer: It takes 750 Joules of heat to heat a silver spoon.
