| How much will the temperature of water weighing 20 kg increase if you transfer to it the entire amount of heat from the combustion of 2 kg of firewood.
Initial data: m1 (water mass) = 20 kg; m2 (mass of burnt wood) = 2 kg.
Constants: C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4200 J / (kg * K); q (specific heat of combustion of dry wood) = 1 * 10 ^ 7 J / kg.
If we assume that all the heat from combustion goes to changing the temperature of the water, then the ratio is true:
Q1 = Q2: C * m1 * Δt = q * m2.
Δt = q * m2 / (C * m1).
Δt = q * m2 / (C * m1) = 1 * 10 ^ 7 * 2 / (4200 * 20) = 238 ºС (impossible, after reaching the temperature of 100 ºС the process of water evaporation will occur).
One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
