Randall D. Knight β Work, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 44
The specific heat of most solids is nearly constant over a wide temperature range. Not so for diamond. Between 200 K and 600 K, the specific heat of diamond is reasonably well described by \(c = 2.8T - 350 \, \text{J/kg K}\), where \(T\) is in K. For gemstone diamonds, 1 carat = 200 mg. How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 3.5 carat diamond from \(-50^{\circ}\text{C}\) to \(250^{\circ}\text{C}\)?
