The temperature of 0.5 kg of water is 303 K. It is cooled to 278K by keeping it in a refrigerator.what is the time taken by water to reach 278 K if 87.5J of heat is given out in each second? ( specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg K )

We have : Q = mcθ.

2. θ = (θ2 - θ1) = (278 - 303) = -25 K

• The negative sign indicates that, heat energy is given out

3. Substituting the known values we get: Q = 0.5×4200×-25 = -52500 J

4. Energy given out per second = -87.5 J

5. So time taken = -52500⁄-87.5 = 600 seconds = 10 minutes
