14.2 Specific heat capacity and latent heat

Question 9

An industrial kiln heats a silicon-carbide crucible of mass 7.25 kg from an ambient temperature of $∘C24.0\text{ }^\circ\text{C}$ to an operating temperature of $∘C864.0\text{ }^\circ\text{C}$ .

The specific heat capacity of silicon-carbide is $∘C750\text{ J/kg }^\circ\text{C}$ .

Calculate the thermal energy transferred to the crucible. Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.
