Hey everyone. So here it is. To calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature by 1. kg of oil by 134°C. We're told the specific heat of the oil is 1.42 jewels over g times degrees C. Now, because it's a specific heat, this tells us that we should use the equation that heat equals mass of my substance. Times specific heat times change in temperature. Now here are mass is in kilograms. But since specific heat capacity uses grams, we should convert this two g. So that comes out to 1890 g Times 1.42 jules over grams times degree Celsius. And then they're saying we're raising the temperature so that represents our change in temperature. So 1 34°C. So here g cancel out°C, cancel out. And I'll have my answer initially. In jewels, this comes out to 629.2 jules. And if I converted into killing jewels, one kg is 10 to the three jewels. So we'll have it as killer jewels. Okay, so that would be the approximate of heat required to raise the temperature by 134°C

We pack two identical coolers for a picnic, placing 24 12-ounce soft drinks and five pounds of ice in each. However, the drinks that we put into cooler A were refrigerated for several hours before they were packed in the cooler, while the drinks that we put into cooler B were at room temperature. When we open the two coolers three hours later, most of the ice in cooler A is still present, while nearly all of the ice in cooler B has melted. Explain this difference.

A kilogram of aluminum metal and a kilogram of water are each warmed to 75 °C and placed in two identical insulated containers. One hour later, the two containers are opened and the temperature of each substance is measured. The aluminum has cooled to 35 °C, while the water has cooled only to 66 °C. Explain this difference.
