Answer:
1540.8 Joules of energy is required to bring a 30 gram crayon from room temperature, 25 degrees C, to its melting point 49 degrees C
Explanation:
Crayon is paraffin wax. The specific heat of paraffin wax is 2.14 J/g°C
As we know
[tex]Q = m*c *\Delta T[/tex]
Where
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the change in temperature [tex]T_2- T_1[/tex]
m is the mass of the object
c is the specific heat in J/g°C
Substituting the given values, we get -
[tex]Q = 30 * 2.14 *(49-25)\\Q = 1540.8[/tex] Joules
1540.8 Joules of energy is required to bring a 30 gram crayon from room temperature, 25 degrees C, to its melting point 49 degrees C
