How much heat will be released during crystallization and cooling to 39 degrees C, 50 kg of iron

How much heat will be released during crystallization and cooling to 39 degrees C, 50 kg of iron taken at the melting temperature.

Data: tк (final temperature of iron cooling) = 39 ºС; m (iron mass) = 50 kg; iron was at the melting temperature (tm = 1539 ºС).

Reference data: λ (specific heat of fusion of iron) = 2.7 * 10 ^ 5 J / kg; C (specific heat) = 460 J / (kg * K).

The amount of heat released during crystallization and cooling of iron is determined by the formula: Q = λ * m + C * m * (tmelt – tc).

Calculation: Q = 2.7 * 10 ^ 5 * 50 + 460 * 50 * (1539 – 39) = 48 * 10 ^ 6 J (48 MJ).

Answer: 48 MJ of heat will be released.
