SUMMARY

The energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of lead from 0 Kelvin can be calculated using the concept of specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity of lead is approximately 0.128 J/g·K. To find the total energy, the formula Q = mcΔT should be used, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass in grams, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. This formula allows for precise calculations of energy requirements based on desired temperature changes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of specific heat capacity
  • Familiarity with the formula Q = mcΔT
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics
  • Ability to convert units (grams to kilograms)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific heat capacity of other materials for comparison
  • Learn about thermodynamic principles related to heat transfer
  • Explore advanced topics in calorimetry
  • Study the effects of temperature changes on different states of matter
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or chemistry, engineers working with thermal systems, and anyone interested in thermodynamic calculations related to materials.

can anybody tell me how do I work out how much energy it takes to get an atom of say lead to a given temprature from 0 kelvin

Again, temperature is a statistical property of LARGE number of atoms, not one atom. So your question does not make sense, since "tempretature of an atom" does not make sense.

Can anny body please help me find a formula to work out how much energy it takes to get 1 kg of lead to a given temprature from 0 Kelvin
 
Bruce Hawkins I just saw you posted a thread about the exact same topic.

Are you familiar with the the idea of specific heat? If not, Google for "specific heat".

you have already asked this question in your other thread

@Nugatory already gave you a clue to go look up

but you didn't bother to respond

It is not a good thing to ask the same question in multiple threadsD
