Solution
Given: Mass (m) = 500 g, change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C
specific heat of iron (c) = 0.110 cal/g °C
To find: Heat energy (Q)
Formula: Q = m c ΔT
Calculation: According to principle of heat exchange,
Energy supplied to iron piece = Energy gained by iron piece
From formula,
Q = 500 × 0.110 × 20 = 1100 cal
Heat energy needed to raise temperature of piece of iron is 1100 cal.
