we will be using formula of heat absorbed
[tex] Q=mc \Delta T [/tex]
where
Q is heat absorbed
m is mass
c is specific heat of iron skillet
[tex] \Delta T [/tex] is temperature change
we are given
[tex] m=72g [/tex]
[tex] c=0.449J/g [/tex]
[tex] \Delta T=27-6 [/tex]
[tex] \Delta T=21 [/tex]
now, we can plug values
[tex] Q=72*0.449*21 [/tex]
[tex] Q=678.888J [/tex]
so,
heat absorbed is 678.888J............Answer
