Answer:
Energy absorbed by <u>Iron block</u> E (iron) = 460.5 J
Energy absorbed by <u>Copper block</u> E (Copper) = 376.8 J
Explanation:
To find the heat absorbed, we can use the formula as,
<em>q = m c ΔT</em>
Here, Mass = m = 10 g = 0.01 kg
ΔT = change in temperature = 400 - 300 = 100 K = 100 - 273 = -173 °C
c = specific heat capacity
c for iron = 460.5 J/kg K
c for copper = 376.8 J/kg K
Plugin the values in the above equation, we will get,
<em>q (iron) = 0.01 kg × 460.5 J/kg K × 100 K = 460.5 J</em>
<em>q (copper) = 0.01 kg × 376.8 J/kg K × 100 K = 376.8 J</em>
