Chapter 6.3, Problem 6.4BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The released heat (in kJ) from car radiator has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Specific heat capacity:

The required amount of heat to change 1 K temperature for a 1 gram substance is known as specific heat capacity.

$\text{Specific heat capacity (c)}\text{=}\frac{\text{(q})\text{heat}}{\text{mass×ΔT}}\text{[J/g}\text{.K]}$

From the above equation heat is,

  $\text{q}\text{=}\text{C×m×ΔT}$
