Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of lead from absolute zero (0 K) to a specified temperature. Participants explore concepts related to heat capacity and seek formulas relevant to this calculation.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant initially inquires about the energy needed for an atom of lead, which is challenged by another who points out that temperature is a property of a large number of atoms.
  • Several participants express a need for a formula to calculate the energy required to heat 1 kg of lead from 0 K, indicating a focus on practical application.
  • References to "molar heat capacity" and "specific heat capacity" are made as potential concepts to consider for the calculations.
  • One participant suggests looking up specific heat as a way to find the necessary information, while another notes that the same question has been asked in a different thread.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the approach to the problem, and there is some contention regarding the repetition of questions across threads. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific formula or method to be used.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference specific heat capacity and molar heat capacity, but there are no detailed calculations or definitions provided. The discussion lacks clarity on the assumptions and conditions under which the energy calculations would be valid.

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.

ok them how do I work out how much energy it takes to get 1 kg of lead to a given temprature from 0 kelvin
 
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
