AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the total heat received by a frozen soup mass of 0.40 kg heated from -15°C to 75°C in a microwave. The calculations involve using specific heat capacities for both solid and liquid states, as well as the latent heat of fusion. The participant arrives at a total heat of 270,600 J, while the teacher claims the answer is 2,671,000 J. Some participants express skepticism about the teacher's answer, suggesting a possible error. The conversation highlights confusion regarding the correct application of heat transfer equations in this context.

Homework Statement


frozen soup of a mass of 0,40kg enters a microwave at -15°C. after 6 minutes the soup eaches a ° of 75°C
SHC of soup at solid state : c = 2100J/kg°C
SHC of liquid soup : c = 4200K/kg°C
SLH of fusion of soup : Lf = 330 000J/kg
melting point of soup : 0°C
THE QUESTION : WHAT IS THE TOTAL QUANTITY OF HEAT RECEIVED BY THE SOUP ?

Homework Equations


E = mcΔt
E= mL

The Attempt at a Solution


E = mcΔT
= 0,4 x 2100 x 15
=12600 J

E = mL
= 0,4 x 330 000
=132000J

E = mcΔT
= 0,4 x 4200 x 75
=126000

Etot = 132,000 + 12600 + 126000
=270600 J

teachers answer : 2 671 000 J
i have no idea how to get to it i am in my 5th year at the european school

mms0101,

I can't see anything wrong with your answer.

Ratch
 
You're right, teach is wrong. Sure that was his answer?
 
ill go talk to him tomorrow as i have another answer to do with circuits that mismatch his ill let you know :) thank you anyway
