Question

Good chocolate is designed to melt at 34°C. A chocolate bar, originally frozen to a temp of -115°C, has its thermal energy doubled. Will it melt?

It's not like temperature, so if thermal energy is doubled that means heat is being added & therefore likely it will melt right?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Assuming thermal energy is proportional to temperature in °K, then
Initial energy
=k*(-115+273.15)
=158.15k
Final energy
=2(158.15k)
=316.3k
equivalent to a temperature of
T=316.3°K
=(316.3-273.15)°C
=43.15°C
>34°C

Will the chocolate melt?

Oh I get it! ok thank you :) I'll make note of that. I appreciate your help
