Question 17

A ceramic shelf of mass 6.0 kg is heated in a kiln. Its temperature increases from 25 ∘C25\ ^{\circ}\text{C}25 ∘C to 225 ∘C225\ ^{\circ}\text{C}225 ∘C and it remains solid.

The specific heat capacity of the ceramic is 750 J/kg ∘C750\ \text{J/kg}\ ^{\circ}\text{C}750 J/kg ∘C.

Use the equation

ΔQ=m×c×Δθ\Delta Q = m \times c \times \Delta \thetaΔQ=m×c×Δθ

Calculate the energy transferred to the ceramic shelf.
