You plan on cooking a 20-lb (9.7 kg) turkey for Thanksgivingthis year. The change in enthalpy for the process of cooking yourturkey would be 1 thawed raw turkey (s) —> 1 perfectly roastedturkey (s) with ?H = ?? kJ/kg. The specific heat of turkey is 3.53kJ/kg*K. You already know that you will deport your turkey in therefrigerator giving the raw turkey a temperature of 35*F (1.67*C)when in thermal equilibrium with your refrigerator. You are alsowell aware of the fact that the turkey must be cooked to a finaltemperature of 165*F (73.9*C) to avoid getting the whole familysick. Calculate the change in enthalpy in units of kJ/kg forcooking this turkey using the info given. Additionally, how muchenergy would be needed to cook a 15-lb turkey?
