4800 J\text{4800 J}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given values and convert units.

    The mass of the iron is m=200 gm = 200 \, \text{g}. Convert this to kilograms:

    m=200 g×1 kg1000 g=0.2 kgm = 200 \, \text{g} \times \frac{1 \, \text{kg}}{1000 \, \text{g}} = 0.2 \, \text{kg}

    The specific heat capacity of iron is c=400 J/kg/Kc = 400 \, \text{J/kg/K}.
    The initial temperature is T1=95∘CT_1 = 95^\circ\text{C}.
    The final temperature is T2=35∘CT_2 = 35^\circ\text{C}.

  2. Calculate the change in temperature (ΔT\Delta T).

    The change in temperature is the difference between the initial and final temperatures:

    ΔT=T1−T2\Delta T = T_1 - T_2 ΔT=95∘C−35∘C=60∘C\Delta T = 95^\circ\text{C} - 35^\circ\text{C} = 60^\circ\text{C}

    Since a change of 1∘C1^\circ\text{C} is equal to a change of 1 K1 \, \text{K}, ΔT=60 K\Delta T = 60 \, \text{K}.

  3. Calculate the energy given out using the formula Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T.

    Substitute the values into the formula:

    Q=(0.2 kg)×(400 J/kg/K)×(60 K)Q = (0.2 \, \text{kg}) \times (400 \, \text{J/kg/K}) \times (60 \, \text{K}) Q=80 J/K×60 KQ = 80 \, \text{J/K} \times 60 \, \text{K} Q=4800 JQ = 4800 \, \text{J}

    The energy given out is 4800 J\text{4800 J}.
