To find the value of Q, we can use the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
Where: Q = heat energy m = mass (in kg) c = specific heat capacity (in J/kg*⁰C) ΔT = change in temperature (in ⁰C)
Given: m = 200 kg c = 140 J/kg*⁰C ΔT = t2 - t1
ΔT = 1740 - 40 = 1700 ⁰C
Substituting the values into the formula:
Q = 200 kg * 140 J/kg*⁰C * 1700 ⁰C
Q = 4,760,000 J
Therefore, the value of Q is 4,760,000 J.
