Question No.1) a moon of Jupiter, possesses volcanoes that emit molten sulfur. Consider 1 metric ton of solid sulfur at a temperature of 00C. How much energy must the sulfur absorb to become molten sulfur at a temperature of 3500C? Use specific heats of 705 J/(kg K) and 406 J/(kg K) for solid and molten sulfur respectively. Other information needed is tabulated in text.
Explanation / Answer
By defining C the specific heat, the energy required is Delta E = C M Delta T. Now, 1 metric ton = 10^3 kg and
3500 C + 273.15 = 3773.15 K. Thus, Delta E = 705 J Kg^-1 K^-1 x 10^3 kg x 3773.15 K = 2.66 10^9 J
