What is the mass of pine firewood, if 127.4 MJ of heat is obtained with their complete combustion?

To find the value of the mass of burned dry pine wood, we will use the formula: Q = qсд * m, from where we express: m = Q / qсд.

Constants and variables: Q – received heat (Q = 127.4 MJ); qсд – specific heat of combustion of dry pine wood (qсд = 12.5 MJ / kg).

Calculation: m = Q / qsd = 127.4 / 12.5 = 10.192 kg.

Answer: To obtain 127.4 MJ of heat, 10.192 kg of dry pine firewood was burned.
