Question

Specitic Heat Quiz
36 g of water is to be heated through a temperature change of 9 degrees C. How much energy will be required? (Specific heat of water is 4.184)

Answer 1

Answer:

1,355.616Joules

Explanation:

The Amount of energy required is expressed as;

Q = mcΔt

m is the mass of water = 36g

c is the Specific heat of water = 4.184

Δt is the change in temp = 9 degree C

Substitute into the formula

Q = mcΔt

Q = 36(4.184)(9)

Q = 1,355.616Joules

The amount of heat required is 1,355.616Joules
