As 390-g of hot milk cools in a mug, it transfers 30,000 J of heat to the environment.


How does the temperature of the milk change? (cmilk = 3.9 J/g°C)


AIt increases by 77°C.

BIt decreases by 77°C.

CIt increases by 20°C.

DIt decreases by 20°C.

Verified Answer :

Q = m.s.Δt
Δt = Q /m.s
Here, Q = 30,000 J
m = 390 g
s = 3.9 J/g C

Substitute their values, 
 = 30,000 / 390 *3.9
 = 30,000 / 1521
 = -20 C (approx.)  [-ve sign 'cause temperature is decreasing ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
